APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

The boy is severely stressed because is not just eating his cheese, but his entire home. Nothing seems to be able to stop it.

Kids will probably giggle at the idea that the voracious mouse ate his aunt, uncle, and the exterminator amongst so many other things.  The rhymes are a bit forced at times, but you won’t end up singing along as you read. Fun cut-outs scattered throughout add to the fun. You might wish for a happy ending - but you aren’t going to get it. Try to approach this as the piece of silliness that it is.
