Book Overview
In a drab village nestled between the mountains and the sea, an old chocolate maker lives alone with his cat, making uninspired chocolates to display in his dusty shop. One day he does something different and makes chocolate mice with crunchy pink-sugar tails--but he won't eat them. Cat soon discovers there's something truly special about these little mice, and everyone who tastes them is inspired to create something new and different, something the little village has never seen. Sue Stainton and Anne Mortimer have created a picture-book ode to chocolate and creativity!

I bought this book for my daughter, she is too young to keep up with the story line but she loves looking at the pictures. Anne Mortimer is a great artist. This is a great childrens book.
Rich, vibrant pictures and story

I bought this for my daughter who loves both chocolate and cats. :) This book far exceeded my expectations. The illustrations are gorgeous - rich colors, incredible detail. The story is just as vibrant - the author's choice of words and rich detail is mesmerizing. It is one of my daughter's favorites and she selected it for me to read to her first grade class one Friday afternoon. I read about 4 books before this one, and during those 4 was constantly saying "stop talking", "sit down", "where are you going???" - etc, as anyone who knows first graders on a Friday afternoon will understand. We had time for one more book and I started this one - I swear within pages they were all in a trance. They sat sill and silent as we went through page after page, craning their necks to see the illustrations. When reading time was done, several of them came up to hold the book and look through it. I highly recommend this book!
