Illustrated by
Nadine Bernard Westcott.
When customers begin to shy away from Mr. Brown's bookstore because of an overabundance of mice, he gives the cat an ultimatum. Instead of catching the mice, however, the cat hatches a plan to change Mr. Brown's mind and enlists the rodents' help. Westcott's cheery watercolors are more engaging than the lackluster text.
