(2) 1-3 A young film buff unknowingly brings a mouse home from the cinema. The child names the mouse Douglas in honor of movie star Douglas Fairbanks; before long, Douglas is back outside, where she sees new sights, befriends another mouse, explores city streets, and zigzags through danger on her way home. Textured, oval-shaped grayscale illustrations add to the story's old-timey, cinematic feel. A thoughtful balance of image and well-paced text lets gentle humor emerge.
