Father mouse ensures the safety of his septuplets at the beach, but--in a turn of events youngsters will appreciate--he's the one who finds himself in trouble. When Father gets stranded on a rock at high tide, the mice use their life preservers to rescue him. The quick ending will leave readers underwhelmed, but the delicate, quietly humorous illustrations are meticulously detailed.
