About the Book
"When the Katz family moves in, C.J. the mouse is scared. "Don't go," says the littlest cat. "I could use a friend." C.J joins the Katz family for dinner and helps them celebrate Hanukkah"--Book Synopsis
When the Katz family moves in, C.J. the mouse is scared. Nibbling jelly doughnut crumbs in the kitchen, he hears a soft voice say, "Hello." The Katz family is spinning a dreidel and eating chocolate coins. It looks like fun, but a mouse can't play with cats! "Hello again," says the soft voice. "Please don't go. I could use a friend." Can C.J. overcome his fear and make some new friends just in time for Hanukkah?
