A cat, a spaceship, and a wordless encounter

Mr. Wuffles ignores ordinary cat toys in favor of a small spacecraft carrying visitors from another world. When the ship is damaged, the visitors seek shelter behind a radiator and meet insects who help them communicate through symbols, pictures, and gestures. The largely wordless format makes visual details central to following this comic chain of mishaps and cooperation. Its playful premise brings together a familiar household cat and an unexpected meeting between very different creatures.

Book overview

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.
