Farmer Smart's Fat Cat

32 pp. | Chronicle | June, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-8118-3502-2 $$14.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Russell Ayto. When mice invade three neighboring farmers' cornfields, Farmer Bluster and Farmer Boast (who have personalities that suit their names) construct elaborate but ineffective traps. Farmer Smart's method--a fat cat--is far more successful, and when the cat has kittens, there are plenty of mousers for everyone. Spiky ink and watercolor illustrations, happily reminiscent of early Raymond Briggs, accompany this lively, funny tale.
Reviewer: Martha V. Parravano
