Guardian review
Eeeek, Mouse! by Lydia Monks
Julia Eccleshare the guardian Fri 18 September 2009
Spiders were given a witty makeover by Lydia Monks in Aaaarrgghh, Spider!, and here she does the same for mice. For different reasons, Minnie and the cat both love the little mouse who appears in their house, and both want to save it from Daddy's cunning trap. Having set up a bell that rings when the mouse enters the trap, Minnie frees the tiny captive and rehouses it, then does the same for the other members of the family who follow it one by one. Now all she has to do is keep them safe from the cat ... There are loads of visual jokes to delight mouse lovers and haters alike.
