If I had this book, I would have it in a kindergarten classroom. Its not one of my favorite, so I probably wouldnt have it in my classroom.Theres not a good storyline to it.

The illustrations match gorgeously the discursive content of the tale, which, in my own opinion, tries to depict the stereotypes of the British thriller, but beautifully adapted for the infant reader. The story builds suspense along the illustrations to break in a derisory and surprising ending: who would think that a cute and inoffensive mouse was and the very end of a very dark and lugubrious story…

From OPAC "Summary: Journeying through a dark, dark house, a black cat surprises the only inhabitant of the abandoned residence." ( )

Oh no! Does the cat get the mouse!

In a dark, dark. . . . there was a mouse looking suitably terrified! ( )
