Bookroo's summary

Step into Mrs. Noodlekugel's enchanting world, where talking cats serve tea and mischievous mice add to the fun. Children are lured by the scent of gingerbread, finding themselves in a realm of delightful surprises and whimsical adventures. What magical mischief awaits in this charming tale?

From the publisher

“Pinkwater works narrative magic within the grammatical confines of the early reader format.” – Publishers Weekly (starred review) With signature wit and whimsy, the inimitable Daniel Pinkwater introduces an eccentric, endearing babysitter every child will wish they could have. Welcome to the world of Mrs. Noodlekugel, where felines converse and serve cookies and tea, vision-impaired mice join the party (but may put crumbs up their noses), and children in search of funny adventures are drawn by the warm smell of gingerbread and the promise of magical surprises.
