Illustrated by
Betsy Lewin.
One by one, ten mice in fancy garb prepare for a ball. When a masked cat appears, the count quickly reverses as the revelers flee. When they realize that "Cat has come to dance," all ends well. The text's meter and rhyme are sometimes forced, but Lewin's signature jaunty watercolors bring each individual mouse to life.
