Sarah is afraid to start at a new school, but both she and the reader are in for a surprise when she gets to her class.

With rapidly increasing numbers of cats stuck in her tree, Nana Quimby asks for help from the firehouse, the police, the pet
shop, the zoo, the library, and even city hall, but no one will help rescue the cats.

Lilly loves everything about school, especially her teacher, but when he asks her to wait a while before showing her new purse, she does something for which she is very sorry later.

Every night while their people are away, two cats hosts a party for the neighborhood cats, an all-night-in wrestling competition, a Great Cat-Singing Contest and other hilarious things.

Even when the class bully at her new school makes fun of her, Molly remembers what her grandmother told her and she feels good about herself.

Running through the farmyard looking for a place to hide from the wolf, a father rabbit creates enough commotion to protect all the animals on the farm.

Merl, the cat, is quite proud of himself and of his house and all its furnishings. After all, he owns everything in it. Life is good for Merl until the day a puppy comes to live in his house, disrupting everything and making life very uncomfortable for Merl. Merl decides he has no alternative, except to leave home. Once he does, he finds out that other houses are not as congenial as his old home was. Poor Merl! He becomes homeless and distraught until the big dog finds him and brings him home
where he belongs.
