Cat and Rat: Mofie and Maro

By Mr. KAYODE OLUWADARE FEMI

Cat and Rat, an interesting new book for children, reminds us of the old Cat and Mouse story. Everyone expects the rat to go into hiding when a cat enters scene, but this is not the case in this new book. Cat and Rat do not necessarily share the same old belief that it is only when the cat is away, the rat takes over the house. Indeed, Cat and Rat are parleys in this storybook. That was probably the situation at the beginning of creation.
In spite of the perception of grownups about cats and rats, he teaches young children a few lessons in this humorous and interesting story. Cat and Rat teaches children to love one another, share what they have and live in harmony with their peers. The story also teaches children to do away with negative behaviours such as fighting, selfishness and wickedness.
The book is ideal for children in nursery and early primary school. The vocabulary is simple and the grammar is suitable for young children. Hence I recommend the book for use in schools, libraries and homes.
