A disagreement between friends turns into a laugh-out-loud word game with heart. When Vera (the cat), who’s happily playing alone with her catnip mouse, rebuffs Gipp (the dog), who desperately wants to join in, Gipp tries impressing her with his magic wand, but he unintentionally destroys Vera’s mouse. Attempting to cheer her up, Gipp offers to replace the mouse with a rhyming alternative. A ketchup joust? No. A cattle blouse? No! A cactus house? NO! Vera’s had enough. And soon neither of them has their favorite toy. Can they ever reconcile? A fun read-aloud story for all children, whether they like to play alone, prefer to have a companion or go back and forth depending on the day!
