Mysz

Andrzej Boruszewski

"Mysz", jak łatwo się domyślić, jest książką o kocie. Prócz głównego bohatera występuje w niej BMW (Banda Mądrego Wróbla), Babcia, Dziadek, Burak oraz kilka innych, mniej lub bardziej sympatycznych (i niesympatycznych) postaci. Przygoda Mysza, kota z własnym gabinetem, narodziła się w głowie autora po tym, jak pewnego razu jego kotka o imieniu Tosia wróciła ze spaceru tak odmieniona, że zachodziło podejrzenie, że jakaś uzurpatorka chce zająć jej miejsce. Co by było, gdyby to zdarzyło się naprawdę? Pomyślcie o tym, gdy wasz pupil przestanie przypominać siebie sprzed ucieczki z domu, w którym nie brakowało mu niczego prócz przygód, na które każdy kot chętnie zamieni nawet najwspanialszy gabinet.
