Though her parents tell her not to hit her little brother or "you'll be sorry," mouse Samantha goes right ahead anyway. She's finally moved to apologize--not only because his tears flood the entire neighborhood ("That night, they slept in the rowboat") but because of his sorrowful expression. The watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations include many droll details and are occasionally heart-tugging.
