Illustrated by
Daniel Howarth.
As young mouse Littletail and her father, Longtail, play together in the woods, Longtail delivers a message about growing up and how things change ("One day you will be too fast for me to catch"). There's nothing new about the clichéd sentiment, but Howarth's warm illustrations convey the loving father-daughter relationship.
