Tea with Oliver

(3) K-3 Feline Oliver wonders aloud, "...who will have tea with me?" Philbert, a mouse living under the couch, answers ("Me!"), but Oliver doesn't hear him. The delicate pen-and-ink illustrations with soft watercolor wash amusingly show Philbert's determination and Oliver's obliviousness. A raucous impromptu party further distracts Oliver; when things quiet down, however, Oliver finally gets Philbert's message, and tea (and friendship) is served.
