Bookroo's summary
A curious cat discovers a tiny spaceship with real aliens inside, leading to chaos. Stranded and in peril, the aliens must repair their ship while evading the feline. Seeking refuge behind a radiator, they form an unlikely alliance with local insects. Together, they embark on a humorous journey of survival and communication, using symbols and gestures to bridge their worlds. Can this odd team outwit the cat and fix the ship before it's too late? Dive into a near-wordless adventure where cooperation and creativity are key to overcoming unexpected challenges.
From the publisher
A 2014 Caldecott Honor Book In a near wordless masterpiece that could only have been devised by David Wiesner, a cat named Mr. Wuffles doesn’t care about toy mice or toy goldfish. He’s much more interested in playing with a little spaceship full of actual aliens–but the ship wasn’t designed for this kind of rough treatment. Between motion sickness and damaged equipment, the aliens are in deep trouble.When the space visitors dodge the cat and take shelter behind the radiator to repair the damage, they make a host of insect friends. The result? A humorous exploration of cooperation between aliens and insects, and of the universal nature of communication involving symbols, “cave” paintings, and gestures of friendship.
