We have been given 2 copies of this book, one from granny nicknamed 'Cat' and I just love it. The kids (4 yrs b&g twins - how do you say that in mumsnet spk?) fight over who gets it as their bedtime story. The story is about a poor overworked cat who works in a bakers, and how the mice make pretend mouse tails out of wool and trick the baker into giving the cat kippers and cream every breakfast as he thinks the cat must have caught the 'tails' from live mice. Great story about good v evil etc but better still are the illustrations - some cartoon strip style like her strip in the Guardian - and the rhymes about 'this way that way wind the wool' which the mice say as they make the tails. There are delicious drawings of the mice getting up to monkey business in the store room and of cakes and biscuits. Yum. One of those bedtime stories you are genuinely glad to read every night and don't feel compelled to hide unlike other picture books I could mention....
