First of all the illustrations of "Three by the Sea" by Mini Grey are absolutely wonderful. Look at those faces of these 3 friends.... Cat, Dog and Mouse. How can you not love this book?
The 3 are happily ensconced in a hut by the sea each with his own special contributions to the household. The dog tended to the garden..... of bones, the cat took care of the housework.... but usually slept instead and the mouse who cooked.... did you say cheese????
Until one night when a stranger arrived announcing they were the winners of a visit from.... the Winds of Change. Our stranger began to stir up trouble... mentioning the garden of bones was odd - no veggies, pointing out the cat was sleeping a lot and simply asking if they had cheese fondue every single night? Well of course this got our friends upset with each other but sometimes it takes a crisis to make you really think about what you can do to make things better .... even perfect.
