Synopsis:
A retelling of an African folktale shows how Mabela, the smallest mouse in the village, pays close attention to her surroundings and avoids being tricked by the crafty cat.
Review:
"Folklorist MacDonald retells this cautionary tale from the Limba people of Sierra Leone with a zesty panache present from the opening lines...From tone to pace, MacDonald's choices here are right on the money: this is a cautionary tale that will be rip-roaring fun to tell, listen to, and act out. The father mouse's words of wisdom bear reiteration, and the short song/chant demands repeating. Crayon-colored, pop-eyed little mice and the green-eyed ginger cat stand out against the shades-of-gold-and-green background. Feathery brush-strokes add texture to Coffey's acrylics, and the fantastical setting suits the magical nature of this tale."
"MacDonald's retelling of this Limba tale is engineered for storytime success."
