Cat is very hungry and what he wants for supper is a “nice, tender mouse”. So, he invites Mouse to have supper with him. Mouse asks Cat if she could bring a friend and he says yes, thinking he will get 2 mice for his supper. When Mouse arrives at Cat’s house, he finds out that she did not bring another mouse but instead it is Dog. Cat keeps inviting Mouse to dinner thinking that he will eventually be able to outfox her. At the last supper invitation Mouse brings a wasp which ends Cat’s dinner invitations. The book’s message is don’t plan bad acts; they will fail and make things worse for you. A great book to teach a valuable lesson.
