Karlin (Little Big Mouse, 1991, etc.) sets off words like stones
skipping across water in this nimble I Can Read. Wilma the Witch's
household equilibrium is disrupted when the fat cat takes up
residence on the green mat, "That is MY mat," says the rat. "So
what?" "So get off!" "No I won't." So the rat enlists the help of a
bat and a hat and a fish in a dish to dislodge the interloper.
Threats are to no avail, nor enticements, nor the broomstick's
buzzing antics. Wilma enters, settles the question of property
rights by telling the rat, "My dear little brat, what makes you
think this is YOUR mat?" while the mat gets the last word. With a
cat (who's fat), rat, bat, hat, and mat (not to mention the vat
where the cat typically dozes) in leading roles, the rhyming scheme
is set. Children will love the word dance and the lyric
connections, as well as Karlin's feisty cartoon characters. (Kirkus

This is my mat! The fat cat sat on the mat. "Get off!" said the rat. But the fat cat just sat. So the rat got his bat. Then the rat got his hat. Will the rat and the bat and the hat get the fat cat off the mat?
