Illustrated by
Janet Pedersen.
Mildred and Ed are inseparable, until her violin concert and his button exhibit are scheduled for the same day. To get ready, they "practice doing things alone" all week. In the end, they find that best friends needn't always be together to help each other out. "We can do anything," Mildred concludes. Amusing illustrations bring the mice and their surroundings to life.
