A sick day shared among friends

In this installment of the Bat, Cat & Rat series, a cleaning day gives way to caring for Bat as he catches a cold. The story is arranged in three named sections—“Sneezing,” “Resting,” and “Feeling Better”—with Cat and Rat tending to their roommate and adjusting their plans to rest alongside him. A sandwich-making attempt adds a small domestic mishap before the trio’s day wraps up. Friendship, caregiving, and the everyday rhythms of sharing a home shape this cozy, three-and-a-half-story collection for young children.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy stories about friendship and caring for others
  • Young fans of the Bat, Cat & Rat series

Cleaning is on the agenda for today in Bat, Cat, and Rat's cozy home! But where could Bat be?

In "Sneezing," Cat and Rat find Bat in his room and he's audibly under the weather!

In "Resting," Cat and Rat make sure Bat is all cozied up and then join their sniffly roommate in resting...even if it means going off schedule.

In "Feeling Better," the trio wakes up from their nap, and Cat makes everyone's favorite sandwiches, which doesn't go according to plan but ends in smiles!

Bat, Cat, and Rat's irresistible friendship and amusing antics are sure to have kids laughing along.
