About the Book

The dog who chased the cat who chased the mouse who chased the lady...who invites you into the story to see just who is chasing whom today.

Review :
?Ages 4-7. There's a delightful air of ennui here as the dog (with definite trappings of a teenage boy) lies in bed and decides, ?I'm not going to chase the cat today.? When the news, she, too, realizes she is bored with all that running around, and she's not going to chase the mouse today. ?I frankly never thought it was all that nice / Today I'm going to let him run past me twice.' So the mouse decides not to chase the lady of the house, who throws a party for the whole gang. What will happen tomorrow, however, no one knows. The insouciant text is matched by the colorful New Wave art. Pure pages of color see the dog dancing, the cat shimmying, the mouse playing the broom as a guitar, and the gray-haired dowager getting prettied up to party hardy. Kids may want to dance around as well, and if the do, this appears in musical form on Harper's CD "Rhythm in My Shoes," available separately.? --"Ilene Cooper"--"ALA Booklist"Every dog has its day--and this one's a dilly. Getting up from his nap (taken in a bed in his own fully appointed room), a sportily dressed dog confidently announces, 'I don't want to chase the cat today!' That most uncharacteristic statement gets the cat to thinking: 'Now that you mention it...I don't want to chase the mouse today, 'she adds, turning a cartwheel. Before long, the mouse is on the act, vowing not to chase the lady of the house. And, 'because...nobody's chasing nobody today, ' the whole group celebrates by sharing juice and cake. Making her pictue-book debut, actress and childrens performer Harper adapts this chipper rhyming ditty from an original song found on her, ost recent recording "Rhythm in My Shoes." The story is buoyed by a gentel silliness andfeatures an alomst familiar scenario that allows young readers a knowing enjoyment of the fun. DuPont, Harper's sister and also a new comer to children's books, provides ink-and-watercolor compositions that benefit from long, lean lines and a crisp palette. Her overly anthropomorphic animals and a snappy sense of movement across the page add to the goofy good times.""Publishers Weekly"
