(4) K-3 Illustrated by Dasha Tolstikova. A palace cat and a mouse in a neighboring house watch each other curiously. When the mouse sneaks in for a rendezvous, the surprised cat falls from the tower and moves into the house; the two continue to observe each other from their new positions. The unresolved titular question may start discussion, but this picture book, with grayscale graphite and ink-wash art, is a bit too oblique.
