Reviews

[Brandi · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first in a series of books about a gang of mice (Marvin the Magnificent and his cronies Raymond and Fats) who live in the toy department at Macy's. Fun and hilarious.

[Kest Schwartzman · Rating 1 out of 5]

Yet another example of a narcissistic asshole protagonist who never learns from his mistakes

[Kailey (Luminous Libro) · Rating 3 out of 5]

I did not like the writing style being in present tense. It just sounds strange. The story is adorable, and the writing is funny! Great book to read aloud to children.
