Mac and Cheese and the Perfect Plan by Sarah Weeks, illustrated by Jane Manning is the story of two alley cats with opposite personalities who decide to catch the bus to the beach to cool off, but miss their bus. Can they still have a beach day?
Manning's colorful watercolor illustrations highlight the urban alley environment, using one and two page spreads, with a couple two and six panel pages. My favorite images are sleeping, frowns, fleas, plugs his ears, no milk, Oh, NO!, and last two pictur...more

Mac and Cheese are back for a second adventure. I like the rhyming and I think Sarah Weeks does an excellent job of giving her characters personality with only a few lines per page in a 32-page book. Jane Manning's illustrations round the book out making this a must give to kids who like quirky friendship books. Give to readers of Elephant and Piggie, Frog and Toad, Houndsley and Catina, etc.
Mac and Cheese are two alley cats, who can't agree on anything. Mac wants to go to the beach, but Cheese doesn't like the beach. After a little -- make that a LOT of persuasion, Cheese agrees to go -- with a few stipulations....
The second adventure of two funny street cats, told in a swinging rhyme that is sure to entertain an early reader or younger. Ages 3-7.

In silly rhyme, two alleycats argue over whether they should go to the beach or not. (Mac is in favor, Cheese is against.) When they miss the bus, they have to settle for the pool. Colorful watercolor illustrations were probably my favorite part of this odd couple series.

The two alley cat friends, Mac an d Cheese plan a trip to the beach, but do they arrive or must Cheese save the situation with a "city" verison of the beach. Fun easy reader. Mac and Cheese have great personalities.
A fun story and lovely illustrations make this a cut-above for an early reader. The short sentences with repeated words and phrases is sure to have chilren reading on their own in no time.
Recommended.

Trying to be Dr. Suess in a couplet rhyme scheme kind of way.

one wants to go to the beach, the other doesn't. nice rhyme and story twist. fun to read because of having to sing awfully. though it is reader size, so not great for large groups.
