An Amazon Best Children's Book of the Month selection

Filled with humor and heart and brought to life with gorgeous watercolor-and-ink illustrations, this book from Geisel-honor-winning author-illustrator Mika Song shows readers how friends can come in all shapes and sizes and be found in the most unexpected places.

Oliver is not like other cats. He likes cookies and tea and just wants a friend to share them with.

Philbert is the shy mouse who lives under Oliver’s couch. He tries to get Oliver’s attention by writing him notes, but Oliver doesn’t notice little Philbert. When a full-on cat party erupts at Oliver’s apartment, brave Philbert decides this is his big chance to finally introduce himself to Oliver.

Dear Oliver, Let’s have tea. Love, Philbert (under the couch)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—A cat named Oliver is looking for a companion to have tea with him. A small, shy mouse named Philbert is interested, but Oliver does not hear him. Oliver encounters other friends who do not share his interest in tea. Philbert writes Oliver letters in a repeated attempt to get the cat's attention. The illustrations give the book a warm and inviting feel. The author/illustrator does a great job of portraying the disconnect between the characters. Oliver is much bigger than the tiny mouse, and it's clear that he is not aware of Philbert's presence. Philbert's letters are written in blue crayon, adding to the mouse's childlike quality. Hopeful and kind, the mouse is endearing and will appeal to readers. Statements from characters are written in word bubbles. These help readers distinguish between the characters' conversations and comments from the narrator. The bold black lettering also makes character comments easy to read against the pastel-colored background. VERDICT This title encourages friendship among those who are different from one another. It also invites children to befriend those who may not have extroverted personalities or tendencies.—Deanna Smith, Mamaroneck Public Library, NY

An adorable story about a cat who longs for a companion and a mouse who is oh-so-ready to be that companion if only the cat would pay attention! This lovely little story is a huge winner with my toddler and I can imagine children as old as second grade enjoying it. The artwork is whimsical and joyful, something I've come to expect from illustrator Mika Song. It's exciting to see that she's also a talented author and I look forward to seeing more sweet stories from her.

This charming book about an unlikely friendship between a tea-loving cat and tea-loving mouse was a hit with my friend's two-and-a-half year old daughter. We took turns reading the pages, and by the end of the first read, the little one wanted us to do it all over again.

We enjoyed this book so much. The drawings are so cute, and the story of two lonely creatures finally connecting is very touching - and current. We got it for my granddaughter, and can't wait to share it with her. Jack Burke

A charming debut from Mika Song. The story is charming, as are the illustrations. It made me and the four-year-old who requests repeated readings smile. It tells a lovely tale of friendships found.

Despite their differences, Philbert is determined to make friends with Oliver and join him for tea. But Philbert's screams and notes go unnoticed (or misunderstood). So determined, Philbert even wanders into a party of wild cats to try to get Oliver's attention. ​​Subtly this book is also even perhaps a bit about seeing what is right before you're eyes. Oliver, so desperate to share tea with someone, wades through a riotous party with his tea cups. The "fair weather" guests flee once a catastrophe occurs. ​​Finally, once Oliver is still, Philbert gets his attention. When Philbert saves the day, he not only gains a friend, but cookies with his tea.
Packed into the beautiful, soft illustrations and spare text is an amazing number of aspects of friendship sure to spark some interesting discussions. Where do you find friendship? Who is a good friend? How do you make /be a friend? I also found it interesting, that only Oliver and Philbert have three whiskers (only one on the left side). They have more in common than merely a love of tea. This delightful picture book is a perfect read as school starts up again. Be sure to look at the end pages and under the dust cover for some sweet treasures from Mika Song.
