Martin's Mice

"Martin, a kitten, is branded a wimp' by his siblings for his friendly
interest in mice. He loves caring for them and can't understand their desire
for freedom. Only when he becomes the pet of a big city apartment dweller does
he realize why his pets deserted him. An engaging animal fantasy with plenty
of humorous insight into the human condition, King-Smith's story has humor and
a fast pace which will appeal to younger readers."-- "School Library
Journal" (starred review)
