In a rundown urban synagogue, ten old men gather to say prayers. One night a newcomer--a mouse--shows up and the men adopt it. Their reward? A bunch of baby mice (and their eventual families), which the men relocate to the country. This cheerful, if wordy, story features appealing characters and watercolors, but much of its humor will go over kids' heads.
