Tara Meixsell has written a true children's story; Mouse the Mud Room Cat is a cat's-eye view of two lost kittens who find a home and love forever on a small ranch in the Colorado mountains. It is an inspirational story of the love and trust that develops between rescued animals and their rescuers. This story is an excellent read aloud choice for children of any age, and is at a medium reading level appropriate for grade school children.
