They might have had ghosts, but they never had mice!
Morris was the official cat of the famous 1886 Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. He delighted guests, young and old, and even had a special kitty door made just for him. Today, his picture hangs in the lobby as a memorial to his service and dedication. Some say he is still there playing in the hallways and entertaining children who visit.
This is a neat children's story about a cat who lives in an historic hotel. The rhyming story sounds good to the ear, and the fun, vibrant illustrations really please the eye. It should keep kids' attention whether you are reading it aloud or they are reading it for themselves. The illustrations have a fun cartoon style, but they are detailed enough to highlight the historic architecture of the Crescent Hotel. The hardcover book is sturdy, and the paper is of a good quality.
