Mrs. Marlowe's Mice

A droll, suspenseful tale by acclaimed children’s book creator Frank Asch of a mouse-harboring cat who may not be what she seems.

The Washington Post - Elizabeth Ward

Evoking a '30s-era city with decidedly Teutonic overtones (accordion-playing cats, cats in Nazi-style uniforms), the brooding pictures convey the terrors of a police state even as the text remains reassuringly jaunty.

Frank Asch is the author and illustrator of more than 70 books for children. His picture books with Kids Can Press include Ziggy Piggy and the Three Little Pigs and Mr. Maxwell's Mouse (illustrated by his son, Devin Asch). Frank lives in Middletown Springs, Vermont.

Devin Asch is an illustrator and photojournalist. He divides his time between LA and Hawaii.
