Illustrated by
Nick Bruel.
As mice John and Janet Robinson raise their babies, they become increasingly aware of the house cat. Along with their good friend and neighbor, they set out to find a safer home and eventually discover the perfect place: a house with a human child who loves mice. The story's leisurely pace and lively illustrations downplay any potential peril.
