Abstract

en_US
I have this book in the original French, and there it is #3 in the series of 6. Captain Tom is a cat terrorizing the mice, including the little mice's teacher, Mr. Ratso. Mr. Ratso is teaching little mice pupils in their classroom about the fearsome cat. They visit the cat's cellar to see him in action. At several turns, they seem to frustrate his efforts to catch and eat them. One little mouse gets drunk on wine and is vulnerable to Captain Tom's attack. Mr. Ratso saves this little mouse with his remote-control mechanical mouse. Then Captain Tom tries the hanging dead cat and the cat in flour tricks from the fable. As in the second of the three books of this series that I have, the full text by La Fontaine appears intact on the last page. The story moves where it can to rhyming poetry. The cartoon pictures are evidently movie stills. This English version has several typos, including round for rounds and wat for what. The cover has a mouse flying a balloon with 3 on it, but a list of the six books in the series on the verso of the title page has this volume as #2 in the series. The covers are laminated color pictorial boards. There is some wear on the spine tips and some rubbing to corners and edges. This book is 30 pages long. Aesop, Phedre, and La Fontaine are featured on the endpapers.
