Look out! A bird escapes from its cage and flies out the window. A napping cat wakes up hungry and tries to catch a snack. A dog stands guard in his backyard, ready to bark at anything that comes near. Follow the tales of three animals on one wild afternoon.
In this clever wordless comic, each animal is a hero in its own story and all three stories are connected. Lee Nordling’s simple storytelling engages young readers and provides a gateway into understanding multiple perspectives and points of view.

Booklist
“The bird’s peril adds just enough drama for young readers, and the wordless story allows them to make up their own dialogue and narrative based on the pictures. Bosch’s colorful illustrations add lots of humor, too, for eagle-eyed kids who like to spot details.” —Booklist
