Ages: 1-3
This charming book about a cat and a mouse feature cut-outs that help teach young readers about prepositions in a fresh, innovative way.
The perfect place for a mouse is inside a cozy, warm house, but a cat lives there too, and once the cat sees the mouse, a chase ensues. As the cat and mouse scurry about--on top of a chair, inside a box, outside a window, through a hole--young readers will learn about important prepositions that help them understand where one object is in relation to another. At the end of this colorful chase, the cat and mouse curl up together and nap until they're ready to start the whole thing again. Britta Teckentrup's eye-catching, simple illustrations are cleverly enhanced with cut-outs that help reinforce the words, providing a unique and fun interactive experience that teaches young readers about basic prepositions.
My Thoughts:
"The cat's on the prowl. Watch out, Little Mouse!"
This fun and interactive board book has clever cut-outs throughout that make the story quite entertaining as we narrate to the mouse that the cat is on his heels and he must run through doors, hide in boxes, and up and down stairs in the house. No matter what mouse does or where he hides, Cat is close behind. This cute little story has a surprising ending that everyone is sure to love! Britta Teckentrup has created an entertaining book that will have young readers on the edge of their seats as they help Little Mouse hide from Cat. The illustrations are simple but I loved the bold colors used and the texture and the lovely trees in the outdoor pages. The cut-outs made this book extra interesting!
