The Maid and the Mouse and the Odd-Shaped House · A Story in Rhyme

In this highly inventive and humorous rendering of an old "tell and draw"

rhyme, a wee maid and her fat friend make some additions to their house that

look suspiciously like eyes, ears, a body, and a tail--giving their home a

dangerous new shape. New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year; School

Library Journal Best Book of the Year. Full color.
