Why read it?
1 author picked The Cat and the Mouse and the Runaway Train as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The cat in this book is pretty sweet—with utterly adorable eyebrows!—and it’s nice to see a good-natured cat making friends with a mouse.
From Nicola's list on funny picture books about cats.
