Mouse has a terrible journey home – he falls down a hole, gets stuck in a tree, is swept down a river – but every time he squeaks “Ouch!”, the other animals think he’s just saying hello. When he finally gets home safe and sound, Grandpa says “It could have been worse!” and tells an even taller tale. Hilarious cumulative disaster story with bright, funny pictures. A modern classic that always ends with giggles and the comforting line every parent knows by heart.
