"This book was good and it would make a perfect story for kids grades 1-5. It's a touching yet slightly silly story of a kitten who keeps mice as pets. It's an easy book to read and not to long. "

    " I enjoy King-Smith's fun animal stories. Fond memories of discovering him with Harry's Mad and Babe the Gallant Pig--I love farmer Hogget. Martin's story is a cute tail :) of a cat who wants to keep a mouse for a pet. "
