Age appropriatness: primary
This book is a great example of fantasy because it is a story of a cat who does not like to hurt, chase or catch mice and has a hard time finding a home to stay in. The theme of this book is honoring who you are even under pressure by society to conform to their expectations.
The media in this book is pencil. (

Epigraph

Dedication

For our son, Benjahmin, who is as strongly principled as Clarence. And with a nod of admiration to John Kovacs, who knows what truly makes a good home. -- P.L.

For Lisa. -- J.M.

First words

Clarence's mother and father were the best mousers Sam's Sandwich Shop had ever had. They spent all their time catching mice. Clarence did not. He was a peaceful cat.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385327471, Hardcover)

Clarence has finally found a home in the town library, but will he be ousted when the librarian discovers his uselessness as a mouser?
Clarence may be a cat, but he’s a peace-loving cat–definitely not a mouser. This gets him evicted from his parents’ home at Sam’s Sandwich Shop. Sadly, other storekeepers shoo him away too, as soon as a dreaded m-o-u-s-e appears. Poor Clarence just can’t find a place without mice.
Dejected and tired, Clarence is feeling very sorry for himself when a kindly librarian takes him in. Clarence’s new home is grand–a public library filled with books. There’s even a whirring copy machine! Clarence loves to sit on top of it, earning him the name Copy Cat. For months, life is good. Very good . . . until the winter day when a you-know-what shows up. . . .
