(2) K-3 Unable to sleep, Roberto goes to his window. There he sees his friend Archie's cat, about to be attacked by a dog. Fortunately, the paper mouse Roberto made in school falls from the window, and its shadow frightens away the dog. The dark colors and thick swirls of paint give texture to the night and help make the small event more fanciful in this welcome reissue.
