While a mouse teases their baby--sticking out its tongue, climbing on Baby's back, playing with Baby's toys--Mom and Dad debate the likelihood of its presence ("That's just silly. There isn't a mouse in the baby's room!"). Some readers may be troubled by the parents' indifference, but the unfussy illustrations against orange backgrounds keep things on the lighter side.
