Illustrated by
Adam Stower.
Young Nick and Martine discover a little cottage, the home of little old lady Mrs. Noodlekugel; a talking cat named Mr. Fuzzface; and four extremely farsighted mice. Together the children and their newfound friends make gingerbread. While the cookies bake, Mr. Fuzzface entertains the guests with a piano recital. Stower's pencil drawings perfectly echo the joyous insouciance of this benign--if surreal--backyard world.
