5.0 out of 5 stars Very Funny Pet Humor, December 20, 2003

By	"ladynchips" (St Louis,, MO USA) - See all my reviews

This book of "recipes" is hilarious. I'd recommend it to any pet owner; even dog owners will see the humor. There are descriptions as well as "recipes" for cooking Mouse. Book is good for all ages of readers - even kids will see the humor in it. Somehow I favored the intricate "Roast Leg of Spring Mouse" and "Mousetail Soup" for the mental images they portray.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute..., December 8, 2003

By	A. Vegan (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

While this was a cute book, I didn't find it overly funny. There were 25 recipes from all over the world for cooking a mouse. It's not a book I'd purchase because I don't think I'd read it again or recommend it to anyone. There were a few recipes that were cute, such as Mouse In Black Bean Sauce, a Chinese dish that will leave your cat hungry again in an hour. And Tandoori Mouse, where Mahatma Gandhi tried to convince his cat to choose a vegetarian diet. The cat's response was: "You know what you can do with your brown rice".

Where can I find directions on how to make Orson Bean's paper eucalyptus tree that he demonstrated on several talk shows (including, I think, the Tonight Show) in the late '50's??
