Bookroo's summary

A young mouse, feeling unloved, decides to leave home. His journey takes him only as far as a nearby telephone booth, where he must confront his feelings and the truth about his family. Will he find the love he seeks, or is he truly alone? This heartfelt tale explores the deep emotions of belonging and family bonds.

From the publisher

The hero of the classic Whose Mouse Are You? runs away from home when he decides his family doesn’t love him. Luckily, he doesn’t run farther than the nearest telephone booth. “Wonderful…resonates with emotions deeply felt by young children.”–Publishers Weekly.
