    The illustrator of the best-selling Biscuit books has created an adorable mouse who inhabits a Borrowers-like world.

    To a tiny creature like Squeak, a sneaker can become a bed, a toy can become a vehicle, and a few crumbs can become a meal. Readers will be fascinated by the contrast in scale between the giant human world (inhabited by two unsuspecting children) and the diminutive mouse world.

    As an extra treat, there are fun mazes on the endpapers that follow Squeak's adventure!
    "The simple and repetitive text will help bolster beginning readers’ confidence as it relates a straightforward story, while the illustrations, depicting the unsuspecting human owners who live in the same house, provide a sly wink to its audience that young readers won’t help but appreciate. . . . A charming story that is highly recommended for all easy reader collections." —School Library Journal

    "New readers will gain confidence as Squeak navigates his house and words are repeated using the same sentence pattern introduced in the title. . . . Schories' gentle humor and quick, clever mouse reminiscent of Arnold Lobel's classic Mouse Tales (1972) should prove equally enduring and effective as both story and reading lesson. Here's hoping this is not Squeak's only adventure."—Kirkus Reviews
