Inspired by the nursery rhymes Hickory, Dickory, Dock; Eeny, Meeny, Miney, Mo; and I Love Little Pussy, this adorable rhyming picture book follows the rough-housing of a friendly cat and mouse. As the mouse narrator (who could stand in for a young child) informs us:I love little Kitty / Her coat is so warm. / And if I don't hurt her / She'll do me no harm. / So I won't pull her tail / Nor drive her away / But Kitty and I / Very gently will play.An excellent story to introduce young children to t...

Usually, it's the cat who stalks and terrorizes the mouse. Not so in this hilarious picture by Ian Schoenherr who uses three well known nursery rhymes to help us follow mouse chase and menace dear kitty.

Nursery Rhymes1. No Awards.2. Preschool and up3. A cat and a mouse live and play with each other. They tease each other in a friendly way that might be annoying. At the end of the day, they apologize and become the bestest of friends.4. I like the twist that this book brings; a mash-up of two popular nursery rhymes of hickory, dickory, dock and eeny, meeny, miny, mo. The illustrations and text in this book are very energetic and thrilling to see as you turn the page. As I read the text, it kept

I loved the illustrations in this book! The expressions on the cat's face are priceless. It's nice to see an illustrator who can capture the "ZOMG, this choking hazard is teh best toy evah!" charm of a feline at play. Good times.

Cat and Mouse play together, wrestling over a paper umbrella. The text follows a nursery rhyme, changing into Hickory Dickory Dock, and then returning to the original rhyme. As Mouse gets the best of Cat time and again, will they end up as enemies or friends?The lively illustrations bring the old-fashioned text to vibrant life. Both animals are captured with attention to minute details, but then are made wide-eyed and action filled to great comic effect. Families who have kittens or cats will re...

Cat & Mouse by Ian Schoenherr is an indivualistic take on classic nursery rhymes, accompanied by detailed illustrations, appropriate for kids of ages two through four. This book does not have any awards, although the illustrations are deserving of one. From beginning to end the cat and mouse have a friendly game of back and forth often teasing each other, although in a couple of the pictures the cat seems a little malicious. During their time goofing around the mouse jumps onto the clock and the...

Cat & Mouse is story about a cat and mouse playing together. This charming book is a mixture of the classic nursery rhyme "Hickory, Dickory, Dock" and "Meenie Miney Mo". Sure to capture readers with huge capturing fonts and amusing illustrations, this book is appropriate for first grade and below. An activity that can be done with first grade is focusing on different rhymes. The teacher can enlarge the story and nursery rhyme for all students to see during circle time and together as a class,

This is a cute book that shows just because you didn't get along in the first place does not mean you can't be friends in the end. I would read this book in class if I knew there were students that were not getting along and I wanted them to know that that could change.

Review: I enjoyed this book. I loved that the illustrations were big and clear, and the same with the words. I found it interesting that the author was able to connect the two nurse...

I think this could be used in storytime for toddlers through preschoolers. It's a lot of fun with familiar children's rhymes incorporated into this simple story of friendship between a cat and a mouse.

This is a clever and visually engaging storybook that integrates three familiar nursery rhymes in the games of a cat & mouse. Would be fun with older kids who are familiar with the rhymes and would get the visual interplay with the text.

A great read aloud for hickory dickory dock and eeny meeny miney mo. Cat and mouse are main characters. Large illustrations and text.

This story of the antics of a cat and mouse is told through the interweaving of three traditional nursery rhymes. Is cat trying to capture and eat mouse, or are they just playing? The pictures are very cute--my favorite is the one where the cat is distracted when he finds mouse's little umbrella. The look on the cat's face is SO typical, as is his possessiveness of the umbrella in the next few pictures. With its simple text and large, colorful pictures, this would make a good readaloud for presc...

2.5I absolutely think the illustrations are what make this book enjoyable. Other than the two nursery rhymes that are thrown in, this book doesn't really flow well and though it is quite a short read, it uses a very mature vocabulary the little ones may not quite understand.

A cat and mouse coexist and have fun together.

This is cute! I love the large print text - great for read alouds.

Story of a cat and mouse who are friends. The story breaks off into a couple of different nursery rhymees (Hickory Dickory Dock, Eeny, Meeny, miney, mo ...) throughout the book. Fun for the kids to say along as you read.

The illustrations in this book are amazing. The lyrical narrative is pretty good, too, but I was mezmerized by the illustrations (especially the cat!) The detail and texture is wonderful and some of the expressions on the cat's face are hilarious. Fun story to read aloud, with two familiar nursery rhymes incorporated into the tale.

Love this! Cute book about being good and getting along, but also incorporates the two nursery rhymes Hickory Dickory Dock and Eenie Meenie Miney Moe! Great lead in for doing those two nursery rhymes during story time.

I like the combination of rhymes, but the art could be much better.
