So Daddy Tim brought us Halloween kitty books this week. Mine is actually more about the mousies in the book. In this short story, the mousies are having a harvest party
"Boo to you!
Scat, scary cat.
Have some broccoli!
There's no mouse on the menu
at this party."
And the kitty runs away while the mousies eat the flowers and corn and vegetables they harvested.
I think Daddy Tim brought me this book because he still thinks I am a scaredy cat. Well I am not. I can guarantee you that outdoor kitties like the one in the book would not be scared of mousies in masks. (I do think broccoli is pretty scary. It smells like litter caught between your toes). The illustrations in this book are fun. Daddy Tim called them collage. They are made from photos and torn paper (torn paper makes a good toy!) and seeds and string (string is ALWAYS a good toy!)
Daddy Tim showed me other books by Lois Ehlert and the kitty is ALWAYS the bad guy! I don't think she understands cats. I need to meet her and set her straight!
Even though the kitty is the "bad guy" in this book and the mousies win, I do like it. I give this book three and a half treats (Daddy Tim says I should give it four, but this is my book review!) I think little humans would like the short rhyming story AND they would probably like making collages like the pictures.
Blue Spongy Ball is on the move! He came upstairs nearly to my bedroom...and then I found him downstairs...and then he came back up to the hall! I am trying to find out how he is moving around so much. Bubble says it isn't her. I know it isn't me. It is my project this week (if the doorbell doesn't get in the way) to find out why Blue Spongy Ball is moving around so much. I'll let you know. {Daddy Tim editorial note: Daddy Trent owned up to throwing Blue Spongy up and down the stairs, let's not tell Banjo} |
