I, Mouse
Robert Kraus
Paperback
(Windmill, March 15, 1978)
The tiny and engaging mouse-hero of this petite offering feels unloved. He lives in a big old house where a mother, a father and a little boy constantly set traps to catch him. It was most ungrateful of them, for the mouse had wakened them one morning when they overslept; he had done his part in family song fests and even tried to wash the dishes. No matter -- they rejected him. Until the time the mouse single- handedly captured a burglar.
