Poky and Friends / The Truth About Kittens and Puppies
Poky discovers that he has a new neighbor: a cat has moved in next door. He and his siblings excitedly share what they know about cats: they have yellow eyes that can see in the dark, they have sharp claws, they have lots of extra lives, etc. Poky goes exploring and comes face to face with the kitten named Shy, but doesn't realize she's a cat until she slyly displays all the characteristics he's heard about while he looks around for the newcomer. The two decide to be friends. Then Shy shows Poky a favorite pastime--playing with mice. When Mischa the mouse appears, Shy toys with him in a way that worries Poky, who interrupts the kitten's fun. When Shy demands to know what Poky's up to, he suggests that instead of each creature just behaving in the manner they're used to, they make a really determined effort to be friends, which they do! This is a sweet story that also has a solid message about friendship and getting past prejudicial stereotypes .
