K-3Tom and Jerry series.
In Milk, mouse Jerry implores readers not to give cat Tom any "cool, creamy milk" and tortures his arch-rival with foods that cause physical harm. In Mouse, Tom asks readers to help him find Jerry by turning pages, shaking the book, blowing on pages, etc. The hyperactive cartoony art is true to the classic animated episodes; the narrative gimmicks will briefly amuse readers. Review covers these Tom and Jerry titles: Don't Give This Book a Bowl of Milk! and There's a Mouse Hiding in This Book!.
