In the kitchen, mice Billy and Bo find treats--but also a monster ("Just some brooms and mops," assures Bo). Sharp-eyed readers will spot what Billy is actually afraid of: a cat, stalking the mice through each room. Brown's richly detailed acrylic and watercolor illustrations with satisfying lift-the-flaps and one spectacular pop-up are deliciously detailed and creepy.
