First edition. 2014 Caldecott Honor Book! In a near wordless masterpiece that could only have been devised by David Wiesner, a cat named Mr. Wuffles encounters a tiny spaceship filled with actual aliens. The result? A humorous exploration of cooperation between truly alien species and of the universal nature of communication – from symbols, and “cave” paintings, to gestures of friendship.
