Three Samurai Cats: A Story from Japan

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Mordicai Gerstein. In this keen-witted and expertly paced folktale, a feudal lord in ancient Japan wants his castle rid of a large, wily rat. Kimmel's direct and humorous adaptation moves the story along quickly, as do the illustrations, several of which are presented in small panels that provide comic-strip-style action. An author's note contains a brief source note and some samurai history.
