How the Chase Began: The Legend of Cats and Mice Published by Outskirts Press
Outskirts Press announces the latest highly anticipated cats and animals juvenile fiction book from Charlottesville, VA, author Rita McIntosh.
Charlottesville, VA, December 26, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published The Legend of Cats and Mice by Rita McIntosh. The author's most recent book to date is a 7 x 10 paperback in the cats and animals juvenile fiction category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/TheLegendofCatsandMice was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
The Legend of Cats and Mice spins a delightful tale of how cats and mice started out as friends, and the humorous event that led to a lifelong chase scene. Maria, the cat, sits on her balcony dressed in an Italian-style gown and asks prospective fiancées to sing for her. By the day’s end, Maria is exhausted and goes for a walk. A small voice sings to her, and she is smitten. Later, Maria and Roberto, a field mouse, are married.
A humorous turn of events begins the practice of cats chasing mice. Readers of all ages will be deeply touched by Rita McIntosh’s inspiring story and Paula Towne’s uniquely powerful illustrations.
59 pages in length, The Legend of Cats and Mice is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the cats and animals juvenile fiction category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, The Legend of Cats and Mice meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $11.95.
Additionally, The Legend of Cats and Mice can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.
