(4) K-3 A mouse addresses her audience with suggestions about how to choose ("pick a pet you'll like to exercise") and care for ("it might not like to play dress-up") a pet. The didactic text is paired with photographs of Rudy's handmade mice arranged in miniature tableaux constructed from scraps of fabric, beads, wood, and more; the effect is static but often intriguing.
