From School Library Journal
Grade 2-3?A lively tale of three young children who try to catch the mouse that their cat brought into the house. Mother, Julia, Martin, and Katie eventually get Socks to drop the little rodent, and it runs under the kitchen stove. The children name the mouse Lisa and think of her as a pet even though they can't find her. She is finally caught in the special trap and released in the woods. On the way home, the family buys Socks a toy mouse. This story translated from the German is longer than most easy readers; hence, it's a good lead into chapter books. Waas's illustrations are warm and soothing and add to the humor of the text. Dialogue appears throughout the book, and Wagener uses both simple and compound sentences. The story has tension, moves quickly, and ends happily.?Mary Ann Bursk, Bucks County Free Library, Levittown, PA

Gr. 2^-4. In this comfortable family story, young Julia, her brother, and their little sister are appalled when their cat catches a mouse. Their mother, who startles the cat into loosening its jaws, is appalled when the mouse escapes and runs loose in the house. For several days, they try to catch the mouse, and eventually they trap him and release him in the woods. Wagener captures with equal truth the children's reactions (secretly leaving out leftovers from their lunch boxes) and their mother's (not wanting anyone to know about the mouse loose in their house). Colorful artwork appears on every page, extending the warmth and gentle humor of the story. First published in Switzerland, this will suit those stepping from beginning readers to longer stories. Carolyn Phelan --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
