When a mouse makes his home in your living room couch, Or falls deeply asleep in your duffle bag pouch, Be quick and let mice know your home is not theirs. Delay, and you may find they've moved in downstairs. Delay more and, soon you'll have wall to wall mice And you may have created a mouse paradise. The world of author and illustrator J. David Adams comes alive in Mother and the Mice, a story about how even the smallest of problems can multiply when they are ignored.
