This book is a great example of Fantasy, because we know that in real life cats and mice do not interact nicely like they do in this book. In a town of mice, everyone is anticipating the coming of the cat. At the end a large cat comes in with a wagon full of cheese. The cat and mouse are peaceful. The mice share their milk with the cat and the cat gives the mice cheese in return.
