Translated by J. Alison James.
Because he's so large and clumsy, Jack feels like a misfit next to his three mouse sisters, who often laugh at him. Finally, his mother reveals that he's actually a foundling rat and reassures him of his place in the family. After that, Jack's problems disappear--a little too quickly. Müller's bright, mottled illustrations will likely attract young readers' attention.
