Roberto is excited about the paper mouse he made in school, until Amy
asks, Does it do anything? Roberto isn't sure, so he leaves the mouse on
his window sill and goes to bed. Before long his apartment building is
quiet, but Roberto can't fall asleep. So he gets up to look out the
window and sees Archie's cat being chased by a big, snarling dog!
Roberto doesn't know what to do, but fate steps in and an unlikely hero
comes to the cat's rescue. The artist's skillful use of a combination of
acrylic painting and collage has never been more effectively employed
than in this quiet tale. -The Horn Book
