This slight story is about a lonely little wolf who makes jam and knits, and a mouse who becomes the wolf's friend--but also messes up his tidy house. The moral is that having a friend may upset your lifestyle but will enrich your life. Soft, textured illustrations showing cute little animals resembling stuffed toys are more compelling than the text.
