"The whimsical descriptions of mice that have fun raiding a holiday buffet will delight kids with their action-packed scenarios, food-laden encounters, and fun stories of mice on the run."
Midwest Book Review
"Oh, what fun!"
Kirkus Reviews
"Juxtaposed with the sure-to-pounce cat, scenes of the rodents-who look alternatingly euphoric and frantic-gobbling the kaleidoscope of goodies create a gentle suspense. And Ross Ferreri's brief and bustling onomatopoeic outing serves up a sudden, surprise ending that's delicious for all."
