Mr. Maxwell's Mouse
Mr. Maxwell's Mouse | Frank Asch
1 post | 1 read
Mr. Maxwell is one contented cat. He has just been promoted. And what better way to celebrate than by going to his favorite restaurant, the Paw and Claw? He decides to live a little and order the house specialty -- a live mouse. When the headwaiter asks if they should kill the mouse, Mr. Maxwell says that isn't necessary. He knows the Paw and Claw's mice are bred for politeness! But this particular live mouse can't keep quiet -- would Mr. Maxwell like to add a little salt? Or order a glass of wine? Would he mind saying a little prayer before eating? My, what a bold and wordy mouse! Mr. Maxwell hopes the mouse doesn't give him indigestion ? Richly illustrated and full of surprises, Mr. Maxwell's Mouse is a David-and-Goliath story with claws, whiskers and tails.

Me. Maxwell prepares to dine on his favorite dish, live mouse, but is drawn into a conversation with his meal. The mouse cleverly outwits the cat with rather painful results. A bit wordy for a picture book, I end up skipping quite a few sentences, but great illustrations and an impactful ending. #bbrc #picturebooksatoz
