Laura Godwin has written several I Can Read Books under the name of Nola Buck including the popular Creepy Crawly Critters and Other Halloween Tongue Twisters and Santas Short Suit Shrunk and Other Christmas Tongue Twisters. Ms. Godwin lives in New York City.

Stacey Schuett has illustrated many popular picture books including the Lets-Read-and-Find-Out Science Book Day Light, Night Light: Where Light Comes From by Franklyn M. Branley and Somewhere In The World Right Now which she also wrote.

When a young girl spies three cats in her yard, she hopes they will be her playmates! But these frolicking felines have other ideas for fun. Will they ever be her friends?

Illustrated with bright, fresh pictures by Nadine Bernard Westcott, Nola Buck's simple text is perfect for emergent readers and cat lovers alike.

Children's Literature

Cat lovers will particularly enjoy the antics of this trio of felines and the young girl who desperately wants to play with them. Simplicity and good humor makes this an appealing addition to the "My First I Can Read Book" series. Westcott's illustrations are as diverting as the tale (no pun intended) itself. Their bright and clean lines match the tone of Buck's text.
