(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Adrienne Adams. When Mary receives a dollhouse inhabited by toy mice, she is disappointed to find that there are no real mice living in it. Then mouse Bonnie, youngest of a large family overflowing its broken-flowerpot home, discovers the Mouse House. Happily-ever-after ensues--realistically. Godden's unmistakable voice shines through, and Adams's illustrations are old-fashioned but lively, perfect for this small-scope but satisfying adventure.
