The Cat and the Mice

Join us online for our family program Stories and Art, where we tell stories and look at art together! This month’s story is about a cat and a group of mice who try to live together. It is based on one of Aesop’s Fables, “The Cat and the Mice,” and is paired with a 17th-century etching by Wenceslaus Hollar titled "The Cat and the Mice." As you listen, think about the details in the artwork, which shows three parts of the story in one image, and how they match what you hear. Then, get ready to imagine how you would include different parts of the story in a single picture. We can’t wait to see what you create!
