School Library Journal - 02/01/2026 K-Gr 2—In this follow-up to Yoon's Kat and Mouse: I Like Cheese, Kat and Mouse decide to have a sleepover. Both characters gather what they need for a successful sleepover, including a sleeping bag, sheets for a fort, nachos, and costumes, all before asking "What could go wrong?" Unfortunately, Mouse wants to read, and Kat wants to dance, leading to unhappiness all around until Mouse comes up with the perfect solution: Mouse will narrate from one of their books while Kat acts it out. The friends remain kind and work together to find a solution in each disagreement, making this a cozy tale of friendship and conflict resolution. Kids will relate to the characters and to the sleepover activities. Vibrant illustrations combined with limited text and simple panel layouts, helpfully outlined in bold black lines, make this an accessible title for those just starting to read independently. VERDICT Another sweet tale of friendship from Kat and Mouse, well worth the investment.—Kelcy Davis - Copyright 2026 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
Booklist - 02/01/2026 Returning for another story about friends who don’t always agree but work together to find a solution, Kat and Mouse envision the sleepover they’ve always dreamed about: snacks, activities, and fort building. But their plans are made separately, so the friends are perplexed when each other’s suggestion of what to do first—Mouse exclaims, “Read!” while Kat shouts, “Dance!”—isn’t quite what the other had in mind. Too much nacho crunching followed by Kat’s snoring due to boredom upsets Mouse because Kat doesn’t find reading an enjoyable sleepover activity. Similarly, Mouse doesn’t care for Kat’s dance suggestion. Finally, by turning a fort they built into a stage where Kat can act in a play while Mouse narrates does indeed lead to the best sleepover ever. Author-illustrator Yoon’s digitally rendered characters with sweet expressions and colorful indoor settings that pop on white backgrounds give the story its charm. Fans graduating from Elephant and Piggie books and ready for trickier words like excited, magician, narrator, and curtains will appreciate the friendship duo and dialogue text balloons that stand out for ease in reading. - Copyright 2026 Booklist.
