Very Good Story and Excellent Illustrations October 12, 2002
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
A delightful tale of a cat ("Mickey Miggs") born in a mouse family's home and raised to be a mouse. Garth Williams' illustrations are, as ever, outstanding: The colors are bright yet soft, intimate and warm. Once the (human) children befriend Mickey, the cat discovers his true nature, and learns to accept cats instead of fear them. Still, his new feline-identified life does not end his friendship with and participation in the lives of his mouse family. This 28-page book from 1951 is a treasure for kids and the adults who read to them!
A perfect picture book July 1, 2000

This is one of those that stays with you, well, forever! Written in 1951, it's really a timeless, gentle, and quite funny story. Garth Williams' illustrations of the "huge" kitten and his mouse family are loaded with personality, atmosphere, and great charm. Believe me, your kids will thank you for reading this one to them-now, and when they're all grown up.
This is a wonderful book. April 21, 2000

My son has asked for this one every single night for the past 8 weeks. It is a sweet story, complimented by wonderful illustrations that make you wish you could pet the fluffy gray kitten. It's funny when the kitten finds out that he is not really a mouse, and for a while he's afraid of "his own cat self."
This was one of my favorite childhood stories. December 18, 1998

I particularly loved this story with illustrations by Garth Williams. The shocked expression on the kitten's face when he learns that he really is a cat is priceless! There is a good lesson here for children: never forget those who loved you and took care of you. Also, if you get to know someone, you can never be his enemy again.
