Mildred and Sam

(4) K-3 I Can Read Book series. Mouse Mildred feels that her burrow is too small. After her husband, Sam, notes the risk at each new spot that she suggests (e.g., an owl will get them if they move to a tree), Mildred has a scary corroborating dream. Finally, Sam enlarges their burrow--just in time to become a father. Despite a strange Freudian detour about a mysterious packet of seeds, the story, featuring delicate illustrations, is coherent and satisfying.
