He asks Bear, who is big and strong, to help. The window is straightened. Except ...
He pushed a little too hard and now the frame is broken. Fiddlesticks, rats!
Not to worry, Squirrel is great at woodwork. He soon repairs the frame. Except ...
One of Squirrel's exuberant nails hits the water pipe! Fiddlesticks, rats and hopscotch!
As Mouse's house floods with water, what else could possibly go wrong. LOTS!
This is an adorable, active story with loads of sweet characters all keen to help out and cause another accident or two. Along the way, Mouse's Fiddlesticks! cries become longer, making for some rib-tickling text--until, that is, he's rendered speechless.
Can Mouse return his happy home to normal? Or will something even better come along?
Super divine illustrations make this book a visual delight adults will enjoy as much as kids. The underlying messaging on the importance of imperfection is beautifully done, as is the idea 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'.
Absolutely gorgeous.
