A Mouse's Dream




And now I will give my answer to the perennial question of what mice dream about. My daughter says this is creepy and maybe she is right.......but the mouse looks happy enough to be jerking the cat around by the strings for once!



Here's Sandy Shaw's Puppet on a String:

Sandy Shaw - Puppet On A String by Sandy Shaw on Grooveshark



What do you think mice dream about?


Linking up to Friday Sketches, Paint Party Friday and Illustration Friday where the inspiration was puppets!

    Love it! I don't think it's creepy at all. I think its precious. And I believe you are right about what mice think about. I know if I was a mouse I would certainly want to change the table around! Happy PPF and Happy Halloween! Rasz #69

    What an expression on the cat's face, he is really miffed.
    It's a great illustration.

    I thought it was wonderful! I could see how a kid might feel differently but the cat and the mouse look happy 'working' together!!
