Mr. Wuffles!

Another nearly wordless tale told almost exclusively through the artwork of David Wiesner — a great tool for pre-readers to begin reading pictures, and likewise as a writing prompt for older students.  Mr. Wuffles is a house cat, with a multitude of store-bought toys in which he seems to show little interest, but as the page zooms, we see that amidst these toys is a small alien spaceship, inhabited by tiny green people.  As Mr. Wuffles starts batting this new “toy,” the tiny aliens are sent for quite a tumble and and apparently important part of their vessel is damaged. Along their quest to find replacement parts for their ship, the little green people make the acquaintance, and gain the assistance, of the household insects who must also hide from Mr. Wuffles.
