Cat and Mouse




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.

Who doesn't like a soy about a cat and a mouse? And small children are no different. In addition, with this book, they like sticking their fingers in the numerous holes found on several pages.
Rhyming words add to the enjoyment of this book. I had to take the kids over to one of our antique pieces of furniture in order to show them what a real keyhole looked like, as seen at the end of the story.
