Series of three:
"The Bread Is Ready", "The Secret of the Stars", "The Taste of the Moon"

"The Bread Is Ready" , rain threatens Hulu Cat's plan to meet friends, so to chase off the chill he bakes. From weighing flour and yeast, adding sugar and butter, to kneading and waiting, each step carries its own small anticipation; as the loaf swells in the oven, Hulu Cat slips into a bread world of syrupy rain and pulls out a warm sun-loaf, and the rain has stopped. The smell draws his friends through the forest to share it.

"The Secret of the Stars" , an after-dinner walk turns strange when drifting lights reveal a field of fireflies; Hulu Cat lifts one carefully into his paws, and the book leaves the surprise unspoiled.

"The Taste of the Moon" , a golden pomelo bought at the market sounds like tapped wood and smells cool; peeling it sets something unexpected in motion, and the fruit becomes the moon.
