I received a free ARC through NetGalley
5 Stars
Max is a brave, fearless kitten that wants to chase Mouse. The only problem is that Max doesn't know what a mouse is. Going in search of a mouse, he encounters many different animals to guide him on the way. Finally he finds Mouse, or does he?
I have read a few picture books with similar concepts. An animal is expected to chase/eat/fear/whatever a certain other animal. The problem is, the main character has never seen this other animal. Of course this is used in a way to teach tolerance, to show that it's still to be afraid of something you've never even seen, for example.
This picture book takes a common concept and makes a unique, adorable book. The writing style is simple and fun, and that matches the illustrations. While it was mostly predictable, children will love it. It was a fun read even for myself, a grown adult. I could see myself reading it aloud in a story time. The ending made me giggle. It was, plan and simple, an adorable win.
