Illustrated by
Vladimir Radunsky.
In Radunsky's interpretation of Martin's rhyme, a group of mice worries about the flame they see through a keyhole (several pages feature cut-outs through which readers can spy the fire). When the mice finally pass through the door, they find that the flame is coming from a harmless birthday candle. Radunsky's textured and expressive signature style is on full display.
