In my opinion this is a good book because of the lesson it teaches and its illustrations. The big idea or lesson of this book is to treat others how you want to be treated or bad things might happen and to never plot against other people. In the story cat plots against mouse because he wants to eat her but in the end cats home ends up destroyed and mouse was safe. I also really like the illustrations in this book because of the water colors and the line work used in it. The illustrations also look as if most people could draw them so they are not intimidating making you feel as if you cant draw them.… (mais)

This book was fun to read! It followed the story of a hungry cat who wanted to eat a mouse for dinner. This book illustrated cunning and tricks in a very fun and entertaining way. I think that children would find this book funny and charming with the talking animals. While there was no real hidden message, one could argue that this book is still valuable in the classroom as a engaging and attention catching book. in the end, the mouse outsmarted the cat and survived and the cat got what he deserved after trying to eat the mouse. This book can also talk about friendship because wasp was there for mouse when mouse was in trouble and that is what good friends do.… (mais)
