This is a story about one very brave mouse by Jenny Nimmo, creator of Charlie Bone, for Egmont's Blue Banana series. Matty Mouse is in trouble. He's flooded the kitchen floor, and left the front door wide open - again! Time to put on your thinking cap, his dad tells him. But where can he find it? Mice stories don't get more entertaining than this.
