The Sick Day Three-and-a-Half Stories

Cat and Rat help Bat recover from a cold in this sixth book in the Bat, Cat & Rat series—that includes the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award–winning Vacation—from New York Times bestsellers Ame Dyckman and Mark Teague.

Cleaning is on the agenda for today in Bat, Cat, and Rat’s cozy home! But where could Bat be?

In “Sneezing,” Cat and Rat find Bat in his room and he’s audibly under the weather!

In “Resting,” Cat and Rat make sure Bat is all cozied up and then join their sniffly roommate in resting…even if it means going off schedule.

In “Feeling Better,” the trio wakes up from their nap, and Cat makes everyone’s favorite sandwiches, which doesn’t go according to plan but ends in smiles!

Bat, Cat, and Rat’s irresistible friendship and amusing antics are sure to have kids laughing along.
