Not a fan of the artwork, though given that it has a Caldecott sticker I did try to appreciate it. Fable is cute, esp. for little children who will easily feel sympatico to the little mouse (and the even littler, but most powerful of all, little wasp).

Cheese was confusing. We never had cheese in the house when I was growing up.

The book is about a cat who is deciding what he wants to eat for dinner. Cat decides he wants a mouse for dinner. He tried to trick the house, but she out smarted the cat. She invited a dog. Now cat was very nervous and upset because he can't eat the mouse. Then the dog outsmarted the cat and mouse. They all kept outsmarting each other. I think it is a great book. It teaches a good thing about friendship and who you are friends with.

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.… (more)
