WHOSE MOUSE ARE YOU?

by Robert Kraus ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 2, 1970

The quintessential picture books can't be plotted out or put into any other words; ergo ""Whose mouse are you?/ Nobody's mouse./ Where is your mother?/ Inside the cat./ Where is your father?/ Caught in a trap./ Where is your sister?/ Far from home. (Miniscule on a mountaintop) Where is your brother?/ I have none./ What will you do?/ Shake my mother out of the cat! Free my father from the trap! Find my sister and bring her home. (By parachute) Wish for a brother as I have none.// Now whose mouse are you?/ My mother's mouse, she loves me so. My father's mouse, from head to toe. My sister's mouse, she loves me too. My brother's mouse. . . / Your brother's mouse?"" But that's all we'll tell you--the ending is too good to give away. The pictures too, by the creator of The King and His Friends must be seen in situ (where they resemble what Ungerer might have done if he'd used a little more color before he became a lot more flamboyant). Otherwise it links up to Margaret Wise Brown via Maurice Sendak and what more can you say except that Whose Mouse Are You? will be everybody's.
