Synopsis

From the beloved author of Babe: The Gallant Pig comes a charming story about a lonely mouse farmer who attempts a mouse mission impossible. Charlie Muffin can breed almost any color of mouse. But Merry--a rather attractive new customer of Muffin's High-Class Mice--wants a green mouse. To Charlie, a green mouse is like a flying pig--unheard of! Impossible! But against the odds, Charlie decides to go for the green. After all, if he succeeds, he'll be in the Guinness Book of World Records. And surely he'll win the highest prize at the Grand Mouse Championship Show. Most important, he'll make Merry happy. And if Merry's happy, Charlie's merry. It all sounds perfect to Charlie. Now, if only he can work a mouse miracle...
