Emmie, a little mouse,  has made a great life for herself in the attic.  When the cat arrives, however, she is scared. She decides to create bigger and bigger monsters to scare the cat away. How big will she have to go?

Crosby celebrates ingenuity and finding new friends with her charming book. Emmie’s Rube-Goldberg-esque contraptions are quite fun to inspect. I would break out all of the building materials afterwards.
