Illustrated by
Jane Chapman.
Mouse doesn't realize that his new house is already inhabited by a bear, a crocodile, and a tiger, all of whom insist there's no room for the tiny newcomer. Mouse, undeterred, starts to unpack--then another creature upends his plans. The tale is slight but mildly entertaining, with details to follow throughout the varied illustrations and a visual surprise at the end.
