In this semi-wordless book children "read" the pictures to tell the story in their own words. There is a lot of signage in the very urban book, so non-readers may need help to understand some of the humor. In this little adventure, cat is not too good as a house cleaner, but his talents are rewarded when he catches a mouse robbing a ladybug. Varon's cartoon illustrations are lively and easy to follow. 5 & up.
