Cat and Mouse
(Barefoot Books Ltd)
32pp, 978-1901223569, RRP £9.99, Hardcover
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
'Beginners'
A baby mouse and a kitten set out to learn about the world by experience rather than by listening to their respective mothers. By doing so, the author implies, these traditional enemies find common ground through play and friendship. The text is slight and it is the stylised depictions of mice and cats which dominate each spread. Executed in muted pastels, they convey a sense of movement and immediacy as the young mice and cats frolic together in the green meadow.
