I learned of this book when I purchased another book and Amazon recommended it. What a sleeper! I had never heard of it. My 3 year old son laughs everytime we read it. The mouse insists on teasing the sleeping or relaxing cat, who then pursues him. The mouse runs to mommy to protect him. However, during the last chase, mommy cannot help and the mouse has to figure out how to save himself. There are some real slapstick scenes which my son loves. The cat has his nose tweaked, the cat falls off of his hammock, typical three year old humour. Highly, highly recommended!

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.

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.

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!!

I have loved this book. It is the second copy that I have purchased for grandchildren. The mouse reminds me of my granddaughter Gabby who I plan to give the book to in March for her birthday. I have been looking for a hard cover edition and was delighted to find this. I will also look for another to give to our next door neighbor for Easter.

The book was in excellent condition and delivered promptly.

The book integrates rhyme and general text effectively. The book reminds you that sometimes little kids pick on big kids. Then we accuse the bigger kids for being bullies. This is a good book to teach kids about bullies, big or small.
