Tim Bowers.
In these three very short and simple stories, Jack the cat and Sam the mouse discover each other and become friends. Cheerful cartoon-style pictures illustrate the few words of text. Though plot is slim and the text occasionally sounds like an old-fashioned primer ("I see a cat on a mat"), this book could be a pleasant first reader for some children.
