Illustrated by
Jose Aruego.
In this thirtieth anniversary edition of the popular tale, a mouse, miserable because he is "nobody's mouse," transforms himself through a series of accomplishments into a hero and part of a loving family. This book about mixed feelings toward a new sibling reads aloud well, and the large orange and red illustrations are perfectly suited for sharing with a crowd.
