Morris is good at licking and purring. His mother wants him to be good at running and jumping, and bouncing and pouncing. For Morris is fat... too fat. Mum says тАЬno more food until you have caught a mouseтАЭ But how will Morris ever catch a mouse when all he dreams about is food. But thereтАЩs a mouse in the house whose mother thinks heтАЩs too fat as well. And until heтАЩs been chased by a cat, he knows he wonтАЩt get thin. So Morris and the mouse come to an agreement whereby they get their food without even flexing a muscle! Wonderfully inventive text and perfect for beginner readers from this well-known author.
