A wonderful picture book - concise, clever, and - as proclaimed on the opening page "This story is told in twelve sentences. Start counting now." The text continues "In the first sentence, a cat runs into the story..." and so it goes as the cat, a dog and three mice co-operate to achieve their goal.
A quirky book which illustrates perfectly the power of picture books with a dozen simple sentences to tell a great story... and maybe a useful writing framework for students' own storytelling?
Available to borrow from National Library.
