Friends Forever!! At least it seemed that way for three little mice, until Horace and Morris become part of an exclusive boy's club. Where does that leave poor Delores?

Bold artwork, charming characters, and a splendid telling combine in this lively protest against conformity...

Lively, humorous storytelling and this unlikely pair's sweetly-appealing camaraderie, make these early chapter books refreshing additions to classic friendship tales.
