In this Sheherazade type tale, Bob, a mouse, keeps telling stories to Muffin and Brutus, cats, so he will not be eaten. The stories all feature a mouse as a main character in one of the better known fairy tales from Cinderella to Jake and the Beanstalk. They are fun because there is always a little twist to them, like Cinderella turning into a horse and Bob turning into the girl in a fancy outfit. They will make you laugh out loud with some of the turns the stories take. But the big questions is: Are Bob’s storytelling skills enough to outwit the two cats? You will grow to love not only Bob, the storytelling mouse, but the two hungry cats as well. This was a cute, quick book. For kids who like fairy tales and animal stories, it is a sure fire hit.
