Customer Reviews

Made my students laugh!

Any book that can get a guided reading group of first graders rolling on the floor with laughter is a plus with me. Even I the teacher was caught up in this charming little mystery that turns on its heads stereotyped relationships between cats and mice. The characters are silly, but that is the charm and my kids loved it, so good enough!

Cute tale, attention getting for children

If your little reader loves ghost stories, I really recommend this one. It has a good, easy storyline to follow about a man who loves books, cats and cheese. Take it from there. Very cute. I am constantly amazed at the quality of these easy reader stories. Great illustrations; great idea for a story and a bookstore!!
