One cloudy gray day Basil, the cat, decides to bring his friends the sun. Going from house to house he spreads light, warmth and sparkle -- all of which make his friends feel good -- but why does Basil end up feeling so bad? It’s no one’s fault but his own. Suns, especially cat suns, have a weakness for cookies. Beginning readers and their parents will enjoy these five short stories about Basil and his friends, Ziegbert, Mathilda and Oswin.
