Bookroo's summary

On Mother's Day, three mouse brothers—Biggest, Middle, and Little—embark on a quest to find the perfect gift for their mother. With time running out, they must navigate their playful nature and avoid trouble to surprise her. Will they succeed in finding something truly special, or will their efforts lead to chaos? Join these charming mice on a delightful adventure filled with love, laughter, and the spirit of giving.

"Little mouse liked the thought, smooth feel of his brother's tail. He thought the three of them, joined together, must be long as a snake. He didn't want to think about snakes, though."
