Mr. Maxwell is one contented cat. He has just been promoted. And what
better way to celebrate than by going to his favorite 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.
