Illustrated by
Jon Goodell.
After kissing her baby mouse goodnight, Mrs. Mouse panics when her baby says, "I want another, Mother." A misunderstanding turns baby mouse's bedtime into a farmyard circus as Mrs. Mouse scours the ponds and pastures for "another mother" for her child. The story is contrived, but Goodell's accomplished art captures the emotions of a stressful but ultimately happy bedtime.
