"Sly, sweet illustrations provide piquant punctuation for Pinkwater's
special brand of nonsense." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
When Mrs. Noodlekugel's four mice make a terrible mess at tea, she
decides to take the mice to visit the eye doctor -- and invites Nick and
Maxine to come along. Who could predict they'd meet a rough-edged alley
cat with a surprising connection to Mr. Fuzzface, Mrs. Noodlekugel's
talking cat? It's all a day in the life of Daniel Pinkwater's whimsical
characters. A comical tone and cozy black-and-white illustrations are
sure to keep young chapter-book readers coming back for more.
