Four farsighted mice get glasses and a talking cat solves a family mystery as the charmingly eccentric Mrs. Noodlekugel returns.
When Mrs. Noodlekugel s four mice make a terrible mess with cookie crumbs at tea, she decides to take them on the bus to visit the eye doctor and invites Nick and Maxine to come along! The mice ride on Mrs. Noodlekugel s hat, while Mr. Fuzzface, her talking cat, has the indignity of riding in a carrier. Afterward, the hungry crew head to Dirty Sally s Lunchroom, but the mice overdo their cheesecake and run out the door. Luckily a policeman is at the ready to help with the search as is a rough-edged, yarn-spinning alley cat with a surprising connection to Mr. Fuzzface! It s all a day in the life of Daniel Pinkwater s whimsical characters, in a chapter-book series whose comical tone and cozy illustrations are sure to keep young readers coming back for more."

Four farsighted mice take center stage in the second installment of the Mrs. Noodlekugel series. Along with the mice, Mrs. Noodlekugel, Mr. Fuzzface (the talking cat), and children Maxine and Nick are having tea one afternoon. When the mice make a terrible mess of their tea table, Mrs. Noodlekugel declares it’s their bad eyesight. So off they go to the oculist for a fitting of mice-sized glasses. It’s rare to find a subplot with any real substance in a short novel for younger readers. However, Pinkwater has provided one that involves the search for Mr. Fuzzface’s missing father. Clever, as always, Pinkwater’s quirky story with a touch of whimsy will amuse many readers. Grades K-2. --Martha Edmundson
