Media reviews

"Using characteristically humorous pictures and a delightful, rhyming text, Waber creates a world-weary mouse with a snore that moves furniture, to demonstrate that empathy and acceptance are essential tool for getting along." —Booklist (8/00) Booklist, ALA

"Read aloud, Waber’s verse is music." —Kirkus Reviews (7/15/00) Kirkus Reviews

"Waber's drawings convey an amazing amount of lively expression in a few lines, and the droll looks on the mouse are very funny." —School Library Journal (10/00) School Library Journal

"Waber, a master humorist, spends his opening pages setting the scene. . . . Listeners will rejoice." —Horn Book (Nov./Dec. 00) Horn Book

"Waber's diverting images of this whiskered hero will surely endear the diminutive fellow to young readers." —Publishers Weekly Publishers Weekly
