review 1: My almost-five-year-old son picked this book out from our local library last week. This is a concept book, a book of opposites. I admire anyone who can write an entertainingly concept book, especially if there is something of a story to it. What is big, or deep, or long to a mouse will be little, or shallow, or short to a cat. The artwork is simple done is black and white and orange/red, and is excellent at propelling the story. As a cat-owner, I might have liked this book a bit more if I had known that the cat at the end would escape. He looked a bit too much like our Buster for my son's comfort.
review 2: The graphics here are striking--done in black, white and orange. This is more sophisticated than it looks. There are a minimum of words used, but this
... morewas have little appeal to toddlers or early preschoolers who will not get the perspective concept. On the other hand, this will work well with older preschoolers and early elementary age kids. Oh, and my cat loving 14 year old wants to object to this book because it's mean to the black cat! less
