A boy does everything he can to catch a mouse in this zany and funny tale.

However, the mouse gets the last laugh as he finds his way back home and takes over the house with a lot of his furry little friends.

“Eeek! A mouse! I cannot have a mouse in the house!” cries Nana Quimby, sending the family on a frantic adventure as they try to rid themselves of first the mouse, then its troublesome successors. From an owl to an elephant, the Quimby family pets devour shoes, steal lunch, quarrel with skunks, uproot trees, and soon convince Nana that there are worse things to have than a mouse in the house.
