Grandma Twilly doesn't feel like doing her spring cleaning, but the sound of a mouse in her messy house spurs her into action. After the house has been thoroughly cleaned, the intruder is still there, but Grandma Twilly rejoices anyway, because everything is spick-and-span. The text is repetitive, but the story, with its cheerful, energetic watercolor illustrations, will still inspire chuckles.
