I thought this book was really good. I liked it because I did not know that Dread Cat was tricking the mic e.

My favourite part was when Dread Cat took a mouse and gave them a letter. I would recommend this book to other children. The best word was 'horror' and 'stupendously'.

It was absolutely hilarious. A cat tried tricking the mouse but the mouse caught on. I liked the cat as he had a smart plan. I would reccomend it to everyone.

The cat in this book was very sneaky but the mice managed to catch him out in the end. My favourite characters were the mice.

As well as Marielle Queen of the skies dread cat is a quick book to read on the go and I loved it it is about a cat that everyone was scared of and he had a plan to get the mice and every night he would put exactly amount of cheese and then eat the last mouse but then the mice found that there was less of them each time and found that the dread cat was eating them and went at him and the cat ran out the house and was never seen again.

Funny book about a cat and mouse. The cat is struggling so uses the mice by feeding them cheese. He then eats them! No shock but funny short story!
