Description
A mouse has found her way inside a young boy’s house and his mother is not happy! She tells her son to get rid of the mouse, but it turns out that might be easier said than done. You see, this is no ordinary mouse. She convinces the boy to grant her three wishes: a glass of pop, some cheese, and a chance to tell her story. The mouse’s story spans generations of family, and includes action, adventure, and even a love story. Will it be enough to convince the boy to let the mouse and her mother stay? Sheree Fitch’s amusing, rhyming verse is brought to life by Leslie Watt’s unforgettable illustrations. Originally published in 1999, this new edition of There’s a Mouse in my House will introduce a whole new generation of readers to the lip-slippery joy of this Sheree Fitch Classic.
