(2) 4-6 Illustrated by David McPhail. Caro resides in an orphanage under the command of manipulative Mrs. George. Mouse Mary lives in a mouse community led by corrupt Director Randolph. Their stories merge in a crime narrative involving the exposure of Mrs. George's baby-napping ring. Nods to Stuart Little, The Wind in the Willows, and The Borrowers; well-drawn secondary characters; and expressive black-and-white illustrations round out this satisfying package.
