PS
Silence reigns in the house of a quiet man, his quiet wife, a cat named Mose, and parrot Will. Richly saturated pictures in vigorous crayon alternate with loosely outlined watercolor, setting up the drama between a snoring city mouse and the silent country home he disrupts. Hilarious banter builds up noisily as the mouse is taught quieter habits. A skilled reader will generally find a way around the sometimes awkward meter of the rhyming text.
