THE LITTLEST MOUSE

Exquisite, as always, in blend of text and pictures that come alive, this newest of Dorothy Lathrop's animal stories has a particular level for those children from five to seven who like tiny creatures, real or fancied. The littlest mouse of this story will be thought of as a kind of ""Stuart Little"" of mousedom, as his perilous adventures -- due to his tininess- succeed each other.
