Sticks and Stones and The Beast of the Night are the first two adventures of the Courageous Cats' Club. The antics of these animal characters mirror those of any group of young children. The simple, humorous tales are written with plenty of action and dialogue. These entertaining stories gently explore citizenship themes such as bullying, responsibility, friendship, being part of a diverse community, racial prejudice, being different, and being yourself. Striking cover and witty line drawings by Woody throughout.
