Cat and Mouse in the Snow

Cat and Mouse

by Tomek Bogacki

A first experience with snow

Cat and Mouse have gone out to play together in the green meadow every day since they became friends. Then one morning they find that the green meadow is gone! The two friends set off in search of it, but everywhere they look the ground is white -- covered with snow-- and soon they are too! Cat and Mouse quickly discover that this white world has new kinds of fun to offer, and that the green meadow hasnt disappeared at all -- it's just become the white meadow for a while. In the fourth of his beguiling Cat and Mouse books, Tomek Bogacki's simple text and delightful pictures once again capture the innocence of being a child in the ever-changing natural world, in which each new day brings both surprises and pleasures.

A ton of fun is had by all when a group of friends attempts to ascertain what the heck happened to their nice green meadow. This would be good to read under a fuzzy blanket with a mug of hot cocoa nearby.

This is a simple winter-themed story about cats and mice playing together. There really isn't more to it - I would recommend this book for ages 3-5. The illustrations are fuzzy and filled with wintry colors and the narrative is very short, with a large font. We enjoyed reading this book together, despite the fact that it was a bit too 'babyish' for our girls.

Very cute. Sends very good message that we should all get along and play together in the snow.

Um... the illustrations are kind of lovely in a stylized way. That's all I've got. Because that's all there is to this book and non-story.

Cat and Mouse go looking for the green meadow to play in and find that it's gone, under snow. They learn to make the most of their situation and have fun. Ages 3-6.
