Where's Mommy?

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Barbara McClintock. Maria (human) and Mouse Mouse (not surprisingly, a mouse) both like pink. They're both confident middle children. They even live in the same house. And, one night, both can't find their mothers. Readers are treated to detail-rich scenes, above and below the floorboards, in which Maria's and Mouse Mouse's lives echo each other. This happy-families story, just suspenseful enough, ends in cozy, lamplit resolution.
