A whimsically humorous story told in verse is complemented with funny, full-color illustrations on every page of this entertaining picture storybook. A poor little mouse stands out in the rain, wishing he could find shelter in the "itzy bitzy house down a twisty lane." While he''s feeling sorry for himself, along comes furry-purry pussycat, so the mouse must run and hide. Next comes a dog who frightens the cat. . . then a goat who frightens the dog. But at last there appears a "wrinkly crinkly man with twinkly winkly eyes." He''s the fellow who lives in the itzy bitzy house--and he has a pleasant surprise for all the frightened, rain-soaked animals

Der rote Kater als Glückspilz: Magoosy ist ein merkwürdiger englischer Kater, der offensichtlich einen Überfall im Sinne führt. Doch das Ding läuft schief, respektive geht ungewollt in eine letzten Endes ziemlich erfolgreiche Richtung. Zu gut deutsch: Happy End. Die gekonnt gestalteten Bilder zeigen lustige Einzelheiten und der Text kennt notabene nicht weniger als 16 verschiedene Fischarten. Ab 4 Jahren, ausgezeichnet, Ruedi W. Schweizer.
