"This gently Christian piece with Rohmann's earnest pencil
illustrations will please talking-animal fans."--Kirkus
"An impeccably constructed, good-humored adventure filled with
master plans, near disasters, and brave rescues, all gently
frightening for readers even younger than the target audience.
Lowry creates a cozy church environment of lenient sextons,
disheveled organists, and skittish Altar Guild ladies, from a
mouse's point-of-view. Fun and lighthearted."--Publishers
Weekly
"Lowry gilds her story with quaint details, extended in Rohmann's
charming spot and full-page illustrations, which reinforce the
comedy and action and further develop the memorable characters.
With touches of surprise and a satisfyingly predictable resolution,
this is a strong choice for both classroom sharing and independent
reading."--Booklist --
