The Mouse That Couldn't Squeak

by Tom Harpur, Dawn Lee (Photographer)

Rusty is his name. Not only is he the runt of the litter but also, try as he may, he cannot squeak. And that is why the eager little mouse is forbidden to go with the others on their foraging trips to the big red barn across the fields.
As winter deepens, he reluctantly stays behind in the mousery trimming the tunnels for Christmas and fetching twigs for the fire. But when fearsome owls prevent the mice from gathering food, Rusty finds a way to use what sets him apart to save the mousery and make Christmas come true for one and
all.
