Mr. Maxwell is one contented cat. He has just been promoted. And what better way to celebrate than by going to his favourite restaurant, the Paw and Claw? He decides to live a little and order the house specialty - a live mouse. When the headwaiter asks if they should kill the mouse, Mr. Maxwell says that isn't necessary. He knows the Paw and Claw's mice are bred for politeness! But this particular live mouse can't keep quiet - would Mr. Maxwell like to add a little salt? Or order a glass of wine? Would he mind saying a little prayer before eating? My, what a bold and wordy mouse! Mr. Maxwell hopes the mouse doesn't give him indigestion ? Richly illustrated and full of surprises, 'Mr. Maxwell's Mouse' is a David-and-Goliath story with claws, whiskers and tails. AGES: 5 to 9 AUTHOR: Frank Asch has a degree in Fine Arts and has written over seventy children's books including 'Star Jumper: Journal of a Cardboard Genius', the IRA Children's Choice Award-winning 'Mr. Maxwell's Mous and its follow-up, 'Mrs. Marlowe's Mice'.

Readers will relish the formal language as a tongue-in-cheek counterpoint to a very funny, if macabre, story. ... A truly scrumptious treat.--School Library Journal, Starred Review
The story, rarefied and arch, revels in its elegant surroundings.--New York Times
This father/son team has concocted a delicious cat-and-mouse tale in which small outsmarts large. Visually stunning, the period setting, captivating illustrations, and tongue-in-cheek dialogue create a delectable tail, er, tale of one-upmousemanship to be savored.--Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
