Mr. Maxwell's Mouse

32 pp. | Kids Can | September, 2004 | Trade ISBN 1-55337-486-X $15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Devin Asch. An urbane, executive-level cat on his lunch break orders a live mouse instead of his usual baked mouse and finds himself in conversation with his entrée. Witty dialogue between the cat and the crafty, deferential mouse and refined, digitally rendered illustrations (primarily black and white) combine in this macabre but deliciously dark comedy.
