Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Ages 4-8. In a lighthearted, slapstick story just right for Halloween, Baldrick is learning to be a witch's cat. He's not that good at riding a broomstick, but he's really skilled at spells and incantations. What he loves most are mice. When he hears that the moon is made of green cheese, he's determined to get there because he knows that "where there's cheese, there's mice." Messing with the witch's brew, he's clashingly transformed into a strange creature, part bee, part pig, and makes a beeline for the moon. The moon mice turn out to be "enormice," but he narrowly escapes them and proves himself a hero. The silly whimsy gets a bit much at times, but the wordplay is funny, and the brightly colored, detailed illustrations combine farce, domesticity, and general garish fun. The witch, with long, gray permed hair, high-heeled boots, swirling cape, and pointed hat, is a satisfying blend of the trendy, the ancient, and the hideous. Hazel Rochman

An amusing and funny tale,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cat's Knees & Bee's Whiskers (Hardcover)
Cats knees and bees whiskers is an amusing and funny tale which my son and i greatly enjoyed. although my son cannot read as yet he absolutely loved the illustrations as he could put together a story of his own and i enjoyed reading it to him as it is a great childrens book. The story was great and the pictures that go with it are so well done especially what happens to poor baldrick the cat, we had a great time with this book and i would recommend it to children of all ages.
