Hungering for a plump mouse, Cat invites Miss Mouse to dine. Miss Mouse brings along a friendDogand further invitations lead to even more guests in this Caldecott Honor Book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Journey up the food chain, September 4, 2004

By 

R, your friendly neighborhood reviewer - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mice Twice (Paperback)

Mice Twice tells of the unfortunate ventures of a hungry cat who, like in all stories, wants to capture and eat a small harmless mouse. The clever antagonist of the story invites the mouse to supper and the mouse asks if she can bring a friend. The cat thinks the friend is another mouse and thins makes him overjoyed. But when the mouse shows up with a dog the cat is... well you can imagine how the cat feels and when the supper is finished the dog asks the cat if he will join him the next night for supper. He accepts but asks if he may also bring a friend. He brings his good friend wolf. The story goes on with bigger animals joining cat and mouse for their suppers and you'll never guess who finally ends all the nonsense.

Some people might say that Joseph Low's illustration are too simple, but I would like to see them illustrate and then win the Caldecott Honor.

A children's book about a mouse who gets invited to a cat's house for dinner and who brings along a friend. The cat thinks it is going to be another mouse. But, the mouse's friend it is a dog! The book was a 1981 Caldecott Honor book (i.e., a runner-up to the Medal winner) for best illustrations in a book for children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dooped!, November 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Mice Twice (Paperback)

Cat was dooped into thinking he would receive a double treat when he invited Mouse to bring a friend 'to dinner'. To his surprise the main dish would be more than he had hoped for.
