Frank maxwell mouse

Father-son team Frank and Devin Asch Like a Windy Day ; Baby Duck's New Friend here team up for a cat-and-mouse tale that showcases the younger Asch's lush digital artistic talents, alongside the elder's witty text. Lunching at the opulent Paw and Claw to celebrate his job promotion, Mr. Maxwell, a genteel black cat, forgoes his usual baked mouse for an order of mixed green salad and a main dish of raw mouse. The artist characterizes the restaurant—as well as the proportions and dress of its feline patrons—as decidedly human and upscale; he underscores the grave theme with somber shades of olive brown and rusty red. Yet he leavens the proceedings when Mr. The mouse, "bred for plumpness and politeness" according to the headwaiter , congratulates the cat on his promotion, convinces him to purchase a glass of Beaujolais and generally becomes a too-amiable edible. Readers should soon catch onto the mouse's feigned innocence. When the cat's growing discomfort gets the best of him, the mouse persuades him to use a blindfold and substitutes the feline's tail on the plate. Even though all ends well for the mouse, at least , some children may be uncomfortable with a few of the images: the glinting knife and fork pressed to the mouse's belly and the bloody though not fatal result of the cat's error.
