This is a cute story that kids will find silly because the cat wants to chase mice, only he doesn't exactly know what a mouse is. The illustrations amaze me because they are very simple yet very effective. He captures emotions on the animals' faces perfectly.
Could be a could intro for a discussion on courage or animal instincts.
