☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Bats and Rats," the ever-scheming Spike pulls a classic prank on the yowling alley cat by tossing a little girl’s mechanical walking doll his way—only for the cat to mistake the mittens and shoes on the doll for a generous gift. When the doll goes missing and the girl starts searching, Spike and Tyke take up the chase through the snow, unaware their target is now a well-dressed, fast-talking feline with a flair for theatrics. Written by Michael Maltese and illustrated by Lynn Karp, this 1956 Dell classic captures the zany, rapid-fire energy of the golden age of cartoon storytelling, with Harvey Eisenberg’s cover adding a touch of playful menace.
In a snowy winter scene, a cold little alley cat finds unexpected warmth when he stumbles upon a little girl’s mechanical walking doll—complete with mittens and shoes that fit just right. Mistaking the doll’s sudden appearance as a generous gesture, the feline quickly adopts the outfit as his own, much to the surprise of Spike and Tyke, who are now on a mission to recover the missing toy. With the cat now a slick, fast-talking figure in borrowed finery, the dogs must outwit him in a chase that unfolds with classic cartoon flair.
Wuff the Prairie Dog and Sammy Squirrel transform their desert outpost into a winter getaway for eastern animals, drawing a lively crowd of beavers, raccoons, ducks, and more. But Charlie Coyote, unamused by the sudden crowd and his lost hunting opportunities, hatches a plan to ruin the resort—before the guests find out what’s really going on.
