Bookroo's summary

A mouse invades a little girl's home, prompting her to invite a parade of animals—Cat, Dog, Sheep, Hog, and more—to catch it. As each new animal joins the chase, chaos and hilarity ensue. Will they ever catch the elusive rodent, or will the house be overrun by this merry band of misfits? Dive into a whimsical adventure filled with rhymes and laughter.
