Illustrated by
Carola Holland.
An unlikely trio--a cat, a dog, and a mouse--hatch a plan to procure a snack, and twelve simple sentences describe the action while teaching ordinal numbers. The humorous illustrations capture the intrigue and glee as the adventure unfolds, and then foreshadow what will happen when "the twelfth sentence ends."
