Synopsis
Children will love being in on the joke in this tale of two mice on a hunt for food, one oblivious to the whiskered menace lurking in the shadows.
In the big old house, Bo and Billy have run out of food and must venture out of their mouse hole to search for some. While Bo fearlessly explores every nook and cranny, he chides Billy for being afraid of everything — but maybe Billy has good reason to be! With Ruth Brown's enchanting artwork full of rich details and visual sleight-of-hand, this novelty tale of brotherly adventure and bravery will send eagle-eyed readers on a storybook hunt of their own.

From Booklist
Bo and his younger brother, Billy, two mice reminiscent of a Beatrix Potter tale, are completely out of food. (Open the kitchen cabinet flaps for proof.) They embark on a journey to the human kitchen, traversing the expansive rooms of an old, dark house, shown in double-page spreads. Bo charges forward, giving instructions, while Billy proceeds with caution, fearing the possibility of a feline presence. Each nook and cranny they investigate creates a disagreement. Billy spies the cat under a leafy celery stalk, behind a drape, and beneath a chair (all revealed by lifting flaps). Bo thinks Billy has mistaken common household objects for something they are not. Finally, the cat pounces (across two pages) from its hiding place, revealing itself only to Billy, who manages to escape, but his brother still doesn’t believe him. The lush illustrations and interactive flaps give this story lots of appeal, and younger siblings who open the final flaps (the mice’s front door) will enjoy knowing that Billy will soon be vindicated. Preschool-Grade 3. --Ernie Cox
