Summary: This is the best Dick King Smith book
Review: I think Martin's Mice is a realy good book, because there's a cat who hates eating mice but his mother makes him eat at least on bit of mouse. Martin thinks they are really cute and adorable and wants to have one as a pet. When he gets older his mother stops catching them food. Martin and his brother and sister have to catch their own food. Luckily the farmer's daughter starts feeding him cat food. Martin decides that he will catch a mouse for a pet, so one day he goes and catches one for a pet. He catches a lady mouse, but what he does not know is that she is going to have children, too. I also like it because it was really funny, and it put a smile on my face the whole way through.

Summary: A terrific children's book!
Review: I've read this book 5 times, it's so good! Every time I was always sad it was over...just because it's so good. It's about a cat who, instead of eats mice, he keeps one as a pet and friend, despite everyones mocking and laughing at him. It just goes to show that opposites do attract and nothing can keep good friends apart! It's very creative and very well written! The author-Dick King Smith-has published several books and of all the ones I've read, this is definately my favorite. And Dick King Smith himself is not only an excelent author, but also an excelent human being...as I have written to him and he wrote back to me...twice! :) So behind this great book, there's an even greater person. I can garantee your children will love this book, and his many others...I do!

Summary: Martin's Mice is a humorous story with a great message.
Review: Once again, Dick King-Smith uses his talents to bring to life a barn-yard full of animals that depict many of today's societal problems while keeping it very humorous and childlike. Martin's Mice is an excellently told story that relates to children through the lovable character of Martin, the cat. Children quickly connect to this main character. They understand the feeling of being different and maybe even shunned by others. The way Martin cares for the mice even though he isn't suppose to appeals to a child's compassionate nature. It is then that King-Smith helps the reader to see that although Martin is a good "person" he still has some growing and learning to do. A reader could get a variety of messages out of Martin's Mice: Do unto others as you would have them do to you: Don't try to make someone be your friend: Respect everyone even if they are different from you and don't even want to be like you; Just becase two people are different doesn't mean they can't be friends; and on and on. Ultimately, Martin's Mice is a fabulously entertaining story with plenty of action and suspense to keep a reader interested. Read it! You too will love Martin and his quirky ways.

Summary: Martin's Mice is a great book!
Review: This is a really good book about a cat named Martin who befriends mice, even though that's not what cat's do. All his siblings call him a wimp, because they say he's afraid to catch a mouse; he knows he's not a wimp! He just doesn't want to eat a mouse! They're nice, why would he want to eat one? Martin keeps mice as pets upstairs in a bathtub. He does everything he can to keep them happy. But when they escape, he doesn't understand why they wanted freedom so bad. Only after he becomes a locked up housepet does he understand and escape himself to go back to his home. THE END
