From Booklist
PreS-Gr. 2. Clarence is a nonviolent cat, which makes him tremendously unpopular with the clientele at Sam's Sandwich Shop after a mouse appears and Clarence refuses to lift a paw to catch it. Clarence is banished from the deli and, in a wonderful double-page spread, he's shown being similarly ejected from other shops for sticking to his principles. He finally finds a home in the library, where the copy machine becomes his favorite spot. Grandfatherly Mr. Spanner calls him Copy Cat. Then a mouse shows up, throwing a children's reading group into chaos, and Clarence is expected to do something about it. The attempts Clarence makes to get rid of the mouse without hurting it are both heroic and hysterical, and Manders' cartoon-style art catches all the action as the critters make a whirlwind of books, brooms, and paper. A well-plotted, action-packed, comically illustrated story. Connie Fletcher

From School Library Journal
Grade 1-3-Clarence is supposed to help catch the mice in the deli in which he lives with his parents. However, since he can't "bear to harm another living creature," he is banished from the store. He tries to find a home elsewhere, but is thrown out when the owners discover that he is no mouser. The feline slinks sadly down the street and wonders if he will ever find a home. He finally curls up by the door of the local library, where the librarian takes pity on him and invites him in. Clarence loves it there because he is kept "well read, well fed, and well petted," but especially because there are no mice. He sits on top of the copy machine so often that Mr. Spanner calls him Copy Cat. Then, one winter day a mouse shows up for storytime. Readers will sympathize with poor Clarence and root for him as he battles with the rodent and finds a solution to his problem. Manders's appealing, full-color illustrations are lively and full of fun. Tall and skinny Clarence has a black coat and bulging yellow eyes, and is particularly comical when he stuffs his face with cheese or sits primly on the copier. Children will laugh out loud as they follow his adventures.

A Charmer!
15. Mai 2003
Format:Bibliothekseinband
Poor Clarence! He doesn't want to hurt a living thing, but his refusal to kill mice gets him thrown out on the streets. By chance he is found by a kindly librarian who takes him in and gives him the most wonderful home he has ever known. Clarence is supremely happy. And then... MICE show up at the library! And his new friend expects Clarence to do something about them! Will Clarence get tossed out in the street again? Or will he go against his heart and kill a mouse?
This is a lovely, well-written story aimed at children age 5 and up. Older kids would enjoy deciding what Clarence should do and/or examining his principles. Clarence's no-kill credo is not presented as being didactic-- just a personal decision. In other words, this isn't a book that is going to tell kids they need to be vegans. The focus is on Clarence's particular situation. The illustrations are just perfect for the story: Clarence is a thin, nervous looking cat, rather shabby; but the vibrant background colors make all seem hopeful. Clarence has a definite place in my heart and on my bookshelf.

EVERY LIBRARY SHOULD HAVE A CAT.
28. März 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Hmmm, I fear that I will have to go against the trend here and give this read a five star rather than a four star rating. This is a well told tale, very well illustrated, and when you compare apples to apples, or in this case books to books, this one certainly holds its own.
Clarence was the son of the best mousers Sam's Sandwich Shop had ever had. They were good at it and so great things were expected of their offspring Clarence. But alas, Clarence was a unique individual, a creature of his own and his main peculiarity was that he simply could not stand to kill anything, in particular mice! Yes, he was a complete pacifist and vegetarian...not a good thing to be if you must earn your keep as a mouser!
Clarence will not give in and eventually is turned out into the cold by the Deli owner. Clarence has a hard time of it on the streets and people only want cats that are mousers. To his credit, Clarence holds his ground. At last, after a cold and hungry existence on the street, a kindly librarian takes him in. Ah! Bliss! It is nice and warm, the librarian feeds Clarence cheese and other nonmeat products, it is warm, and there are many books about with nice soft chairs to sleep in and plenty of people to talk to, pet him and keep him company. Clarence helped out by finding lost books and pencils and Mr. Spanner, the librarian kept Clarence "well read, well fed and well petted." Best of all, there were NO nice to worry about. When you think about it, what more could any of us want?
But oh my, in every life a bit of rain must fall, and Clarence's rain storm came the day a mouse showed up in the library...a book eating mouse!
Will Clarence do what cats are suppose to do and whack the little critter, or will Clarence stand on his principles and risk loosing it all and be thrown from his nice new home back on the cold mean streets?
Well you will have to read it to find the answer, as there are no spoilers here, but I will tell you that the copy machine that Clarence sat upon most of the time played a very important role in the life of our peaceful cat. You will just have to read this one yourself as the ending is rather unique and sweet.
This is a well written story with wonderful illustrations by John Manders. It makes a great group read along with one on ones. Between the rather comical art work and the cute tale this work is a complete winner in my opinion and I do highly recommend it.

Reinforces streotypes about male librarians...
5. Juni 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
No, not *that* stereotype.
The one where the male librarian is a cat lover (shudder) and unable to summon up the anatomy to rid his library of a mouse. Mr. Spanner, this story's male librarian, haplessly chases the mouse around with a broom, etc, and shouts a lot.
Clarence, the non-mouser cat, is hilarious.
LOVE the illustrations. Cute story -- great verbs.
I wish my library looked like the one in this story. (wistful sigh)
