5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous book for children and adults
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2024

The story is well-written. The art is beautiful. We used to read this to our daughter each Christmas season. With this purchase, we have started reading it to our cat. She especially loves the parts about Mowser and Old Tom and the drawings of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars The audio version is great as well!
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2009

We love to listen to audio books. Sometimes it's hard to tell, though, whether the recording will be a performance or a recitation. In this case, it is a well-rounded performance, and it is a winner! The story is read by Bernard Cribbins, whose voice is warmly textured, with a kindly gravel. The story itself seems to me to be about the mighty power of love, and he expresses that with his reverent delivery. Mr. Cribbins was born in Lancashire, England. Now, whether that's the accent with which he reads, I couldn't say, but his delivery brings the Cornish characters to life, and there you are, sitting by the warm fire, or out at sea taming the Great Storm-Cat. I actually looked Mr. Cribbins up to find out about his accent, and it turns out he's quite famous, Dr. Who and all that, but what did I know?
The sound effects are well-done, and there is original music during the performance that lacks any cheesiness; it's really good stuff, well worth the price of admission.
This recording also passes the acid test, keeping the attention of my tough-crowd seven-year-old. Some of the games and activities at the end are for a younger crowd, maybe, but he likes the extra music tracks and he loves the story itself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming story with Beautiful Illustrations
Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2014
Verified Purchase
This is a sweet folk tale that is well told. The book also has beautiful illustrations. My granddaughter and I spent a lot of time just looking at the illustrations, enjoying the charm and detail in each one. This s a story to be read to children but would be enjoyed by readers of any age. There are refereces to fish species and recipes that were unfamiliar to me (I live in the Pacific Northwest and worked in a fish cannery as a teenager...so I do know a bit about fish). For extra enrichment it might be fun to research the different fish and try one of the recipes. I have a cat (tuxedo) that looks a lot like Mowser so that added to our enjoyment.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most wonderful children's books ever created. A real treasure.
Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2016

"The Mousehole Cat" is one of the most beautifully written and illustrated children's books ever. Antonia Barber creates a marvelous story based on true events and the equally gifted Nicola Bayley brings her words to life with her exquisitely detailed illustrations. I have read this book to my children and now to my grandchildren and I have given it as a gift to the new babies of family and friends. It is a classic, a treasure. I wish Barber and Bayley would team up again. There is also a marvelous video version of this book which has interviews with the author and illustrator that is absolutely fascinating.

5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2014
Verified Purchase
This book has the most beautiful illustrations; I love the Storm that is a Cat. If ever I return to England, I vow to visit the little town it is set in. It's a story of courage, selflessness, celebration, community, but most of all friendship - between an old fisherman and his cat. I read it aloud for years to second-graders and it never gets old. The writing is as exquisite as the pictures.
There was also a lovely video made of the book, which was true to the story and illustrations, and which added scenes from the real-life celebration in that little town on the Cornish coast. I don't know if it's still available or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rich language and touching story
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2017

What a lovely story and gorgeous illustrations. Told from the point of view of the cat, it is full of rich language and imagery. A friend raved about this story and encouraged me to get it for my class of 2nd graders. Since it took a long time arriving, I missed the perfect time to read it to them before Christmas. I will wait until next December, but it will be a wonderful story to share near the holidays.
