There is horrible Aunt Ivy who threatens to turn them out of the cottage, or worse. A mean school teacher who wants to take the Nutmouse's friend, General Marchmouse, to the pet store. And a band of pirate rats! Read all three adventures in this warm and cozy book about two very exceptional mice and their friends. A perfect family read-aloud for all ages. -gw-
