Author of Sylvester and the Magic Pebble and the Dr. Desoto books, this is a chapter book about a mouse who gets swept away by a rainstorm and ends up on an 'island'. If you like Charlotte's Web you'll like this one!

This story truly deserves its classic status and Newbery Honor - first pub. in 1976, this copy in 1985. I recommend it for family reading and discussion.

The author is also the illustrator and his black and white drawings wonderfully amplify the text.
