Description

A beautifully illustrated ode to reading, and in particular to reading aloud.

Morris is a cat with a clever plan. Instead of chasing mice, he's going to make them come to him. And how will he do that By reading them STORIES. But little does Morris realise that his brilliant scheme won't work out quite the way he expects...

Reviews

The artwork, reminiscent of Richard Scarry's, complements and adds cheer to this straightforward narrative that underscores the benefits of writing what you know and shows how creativity can lead to unexpected rewards... A charming book about the importance of creativity, persistence, and not eating your potential friends.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
This picture book delivers its unexpected twist with drama and wit. The well-paced story reads aloud beautifully; the illustrations feature expressive drawings and appealing use of colors. A satisfying picture book in which a cagey cat sets out with a simple goal and unintentionally achieves a more complex one: creating a community of friends.-- "Booklist"
