Little Mouse on the Prairie

Serendipity seriesNext:Maui-maui(1978) →

Tweezle the mouse never laughs or smiles, for she's too busy working to prepare for winter. As hard as she works, the other carefree mice play, and they are woefully unprepared for the harsh winter when it comes. In this delightful fable, Tweezle and her very different meadow-mates help each other by sharing their strengths. The meadow mice learn the value of hard work, and Tweezle learns that laughter can make working easier — and a lot more fun.
