PS
When Sarah Jane pushes Kitty, her cat, in a baby carriage, "Kitty [is] not happy." Kitty runs away, which sets off a chain of events as three children try to catch her. The book has very few words, but the humor is in Mayer's silent-movie-like drawings. Readers will get a kick out of the characters' exaggerated facial expressions and the story's slapstick.
