As Little Mouse and his mother walk home one evening, they witness the bedtime rituals of various animals. The parents' devotion causes Little Mouse to repeatedly exclaim how special each baby must be. "Just like you," Mama Mouse says. Warm pen-and-ink and watercolor drawings enhance the gentle tone, however, both text and illustration--reminiscent of McBratney's Guess How Much I Love You--lack originality.
