Itsy Bitsy Baby Mouse

(3) PS Illustrated by Matthew Cordell. A little mouse exploring a human-scale house is thrilled--until he realizes that he's lost; breathless rhymes walk the reader through the drama ("Yikes! I'm moving! / What is that? / This pillow is a sleeping cat!"). Generous white backgrounds make the pen-and-ink with watercolor pictures stand out; the delicacy of Cordell's line gets across the sympathetic mouse's vulnerability.
