Muffin the Cat narrates the strange tale of the night he helped deal with bears in the bakery. He knows all the sounds in the neighborhood at night and so rightly investigates when he hears a new sound--hungry bears. It turns out bears like sprinkles so he helps them fill their bellies with donuts and other such things and sends them on their way--ensuring there are no bears in this bakery. Anymore.
This book is really a delight in the way the story is told with a definite nod to the great film noir detectives of days past. I liked the text, I loved the illustrations, and my preschooler has quickly commandeered this book for his own. Cat lovers, film noir lovers, and perhaps just those who enjoy a simple fun story...will like this one.
