Hearing a cat trying to force honest rat Slim to steal some jewels, nice mouse Jim investigates. Slim and Jim tumble from a roof and into the river, whence Slim heroically rescues Jim; the two bond over their enthusiasm for yo-yos. Later, the two friends bring the cat burglar to justice--with their yo-yo tricks. The story line is tried but true to the tastes of young readers. Egielski's expressive animals are delightfully engaging.
