(4) K-3 Illustrated by Barbara McClintock. A little girl grows up alongside the mouse child that lives in the walls of her house. The two become friends and, although their paths deviate, their children meet years later. McClintock's old-fashioned illustrations are the attraction here. Readers will ignore the story's weak logic, focusing instead on the mouse child's tidy home cleverly decorated with postage stamps and bottle caps.
