Illustrated by
Amanda Shepherd.
In this book's two separate stories, Mouse builds a house with her friends' help and tries to catch a "ghost" but snags a new friend instead. Organized into brief chapters, both stories are told through a playful irregular rhyme scheme and feature compelling illustrations with a pleasant home-sweet-home feel. The package as a whole is oddly charming.
