Book Thoughts: Basil and the Cave of Cats (Titus)

  • 3rd in series
  • the Sherlock Holmes of the mouse world solves more mysteries
  • storyline random & choppy
    (especially hard to follow as an audiobook)
  • convo topics: gods, goddesses, Mother Nature, premonitions, idol worshipping
  • some good, unique vocabulary words to learn

Type: short chapter book
Ages: 5-8
Author: Eve Titus
Illustrator: Paul Galdone

This could entirely be because it was an audiobook, but, though there were a few funny parts, it seemed crazily disjointed. It bounced around from prehistoric creatures worshiping goddesses to briefly tripping up the series’ antagonist (Ratigan) to running into a sea monster to archeologist digs to speaking to a sacred catfish to volcano eruptions and on and on.
