Illustrated by
Jeffrey Ebbeler.
Mouse's latest outing finds him enjoying a snow day along with the human family with whom he shares a house (unbeknownst to them). When he's inadvertently swept outdoors, Mouse ends up having a swell time (but watch out for Cat). The text seems preoccupied with being breezy; the price is solid plotting with little suspense or emotional pull. The mouse's-eye-view acrylics are dynamic.
