Two babies live in apartment buildings that face one another and begin the day by waving across their windows. As each follows a daily routine, one imitates a cat’s meow while the other barks like a dog; they also listen to a story, sing, play, and nap. Their separate activities lead to a meeting and playdate in a city park.
