Excellent story! No drowning of kittens or harming animals in this story like some other old stories you read about. Only one about a cat and mice. That's completely natural though. Such a heartwarming story. Teaches kids important lesson too. This Author is one of my all time favorites she is so kind and teaches kids in such a sweet and kind way. She is even so kind to animals.
great story

I enjoyed the story and so did my girls. I do prefer 1 reader for the whole book, otherwise I would have given 5 stars. thankfully all the readers read clearly enough to understand, although 1 was not as clear. I would definitely recommend this book though.

A story similar to many of Ms Alcott works. A bit more of a boy's adventure, but great female characters as well. well read.
