Mouse in the House

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A mouse-catching farce from Roald Dahl Funny Prize-winning picture book creator Russell Ayto.

Mr and Mrs Homeowner have a mouse in their house, and they want it gone. Mr Bosh – big chief mouse-catcher, and Mr Bumble – assistant mouse-catcher (wearing shoes that squeak like a mouse) arrive on the scene.

They try all the old tricks: setting a trap, bringing in a (big!) cat, inviting an elephant round... but the mouse is always one step ahead.

Find out if they can finally outsmart the clever mouse in Mouse in the House.
