Five Nice Mice Build a House

(3) K-3 English text adapted by Kate Westerlund. Five mice must find a new home after their old one is overrun with cats. They find the perfect place--a junkyard--and build a beautiful home using humans' unwanted leftovers. The inevitable cat encounter ends happily for all, with a nice nod to Aesop. Tashiro's illustrations are warm and homey, the mice are endearing, and the pages are artfully cluttered without being overwrought.
