From the publisher

A whimsically humorous story told in verse is complemented with funny, full-color illustrations on every page of this entertaining picture storybook. A poor little mouse stands out in the rain, wishing he could find shelter in the “itzy bitzy house down a twisty lane.” While he’s feeling sorry for himself, along comes furry-purry pussycat, so the mouse must run and hide. Next comes a dog who frightens the cat. . . then a goat who frightens the dog. But at last there appears a “wrinkly crinkly man with twinkly winkly eyes.” He’s the fellow who lives in the itzy bitzy house–and he has a pleasant surprise for all the frightened, rain-soaked animals!
