Translated by Suzanne Levesque.
When the invention of the mousetrap makes life too dangerous in Germany, one mouse decides to follow his brethren to America. With cats and owls guarding the ports and alleyways, our hero works to build a flying machine to escape. The long story is elevated by extensive, often wordless spreads of atmospheric sepia-hued illustrations that beautifully realize the small aviator's failures and triumphs.
