A House-Mouse Party

Ellen Jareckie's House-Mouse Tales presents two new titles: A Mouse in the House and A House-Mouse Party. The first reveals all the small signs that one may have some unexpected visitors, from crackers stuffed into a piggy bank to a donut rolling downhill (with a little rodent riding in the hole). In the second, these frolicsome creatures whip up a grand to-do complete with balloons, bands and tasty bon-bons. The pastel-hued watercolor-and-ink illustrations appear against an elegant cream background.
