Crackers Children's Book

This is a great book for our three year old kids. They enjoy reading about a cat that eventually goes to work for a mouse.

Stereotypes disproven!

I loved this book, for many reasons - besides being entertaining and an enjoyable read (with great illustrations that convey the expressions of the characters so well!), I liked the idea of stereotypes being disproven - we think that all cats hate mice. It's refreshing to see that isn't ALWAYS true. Might this be true of stereotyped people, too? Also - Crackers wants a job - he tries, fails, but tries again... and again... and finally, despite the impracticality and improbability of it, he gets a job that he LOVES. He doesn't give up, and he doesn't change himself to fit in where he's not happy. I think that's a great lesson to kids that they can do anything they want to do; they just need to keep trying, and keep trying again until they find their unique niche in the world where they can do their best and be their best.
