Customer Reviews

Great fable!

I loved this fable! I think it will be great for all ages, and I loved the way it incorporated the cat and mouse trope into the idea of a fashion show. If you like Aesop's fables, you will like this. And artistically, the characters are delightful and very imaginatively dressed.
