Another favorite by the same author....

OK-I haven't read it 500 times but it IS consistently on the list of favorites. It has a bit of a thrill without getting too scary. Lavish illustrations.

Beautifully Illustrated story for young children.

In this story, which is told in rhyme, a small mouse insists on teasing a cat, while the cat is lounging on a hammock, drinking ice water, and generally minding his own business. A chase ensues each time the mouse begins the tease and the mouse scampers back to his mother to save him. By books end, the mouse has learned that it is not wise to tease. This book is extraordinary in its illustrations. My 3 year old son never tires of this book. It is a well read bedtime story. Highly, highly recommended!!

Entertaining with delightful illustrations!

I work in a daycare. This book has become the favorite of every child I have read it to over the past two years! I even enjoy it and never tire of reading it to my two and three years olds. Some of the children have even memorized parts of the book and repeat it out loud when I get to that part of the book. I have given this book to numerous children over the past two years and I will continue giving it to my beloved daycare kids.
