One day, Grey Cat stumbles upon a surprise in his usual fishing spot: a wooden rowboat containing a bucket of fish sitting idly. Eager to snatch it up, Grey Cat seeks the help of a nearby owl, who is willing to lend a hand if Grey Cat helps him free his claw from under a log. Will Grey Cat choose to help the owl — or is he too impatient to reach the rowboat and grab his newfound treasure? 978-1-990252-17-4 U.S. $18.99 Can. $23.9951899
