K-Gr 3 When the excitement of Christmas causes Cat's human children to forget all about her, the miffed feline runs away to teach them a lesson. Finding herself in a frozen forest, she captures a young mouse by promising to tell him about Christmas, and Rabbit, Mother Mouse, Squirrel, and Bird convince her that she cannot eat Mouseling. This beginning chapter book offers drama, coziness, and a happy, hopeful ending. Hearn's lively watercolor illustrations are realistically rendered and add visual support for the spare yet effective text. A fine addition for newly proficient readers as well as for sharing with younger children. LFBauer, Marion Dane is the author of 'Christmas in the Forest' with ISBN 9780823413713 and ISBN 0823413713.
