Text by Jacqueline Resnick. Splat's mouse friend Seymour's brother, Brice, is coming to visit, and the high-strung cat is so excited he's losing sleep. Splat prepares an awesome surprise for Brice, but it backfires--or does it? The slight text sometimes feels tied down by its internal rhymes, but the sound repetition should help new readers. The illustrations (in Scotton's style) humorously convey action and emotion. (c) Copyright 2016. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
