Texte suppl.

"The clever, quirky, and whimsical text complements the detailed pencil-drawn illustrations of a city landscape, as the author anthropomorphizes mice to convey the story’s more cerebral meanings." —Booklist   "Eldarova's droll text and vivid illustrations complement each other like macaroni and cheese, demonstrated in tension-creating page turns and effective double-page spreads. There's room on the bookshelf for this yummy friendship-themed picture book." —Kirkus
