Mouse Trouble cover

An exuberant and funny Yeoman-Blake story in which hundreds of mice trick a grumpy miller.

The grumpy miller is having mouse trouble, so he buys himself a large tabby cat. Fortunately for the mice, the cat is too unfit to catch even a single mouse. But when the miller loses his temper and threatens to drown the poor tabby, the mice decide they must intervene, as they have grown surprisingly fond of him . . .Hundreds of mischievous mice are causing trouble in the miller’s barn, and his new tabby cat is not very good at catching them. In fact, it’s not long before the mice and the cat form a firm friendship against all odds. But when danger comes to the barn, the mice and the tabby must join forces to save themselves and each other.
