K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Robert Eberz.
Text by Alissa Heyman. Splat the Cat's best friend, mouse Seymour, feels lonely and sad as Splat leaves him out of things and makes up excuses to avoid him--but Splat is just planning Seymour's surprise party. Of course, all is forgiven at party time. The slight story's premise isn't very original, but short sentences sprinkled with internal rhymes and silly, bright illustrations are suited to emergent readers.
