When the seven mouse boys are tucked in bed, they ask their papa to tell them a story. Papa does better than that—he tells seven stories, one mouse tale for each mouse boy.

There is a tale about a wishing well ... an old mouse ... a little boat. By the time the seventh tale is told, every mouse boy is fast asleep. But every beginning reader will want to start MOUSE TALES all over again.

Exciting stories, sparkling pictures; here is a book that children will love. --front flap

most entertaining!

5 stars

Picked this up in one of those book-drop boxes that's shaped like a house. Little did I know it's mild look warned me not of being thrown into an alternate dimension of silly!

The Old Mouse has a serious pants dilemma one would expect the ladies in town to be more helpful with, but no... There is a water-running-too-long story at the end that left us puzzled, but The Mouse and The Winds story is likely the cream of silly and still leaves me wondering how the occupant of the moved house managed after all that.
