'In a wee little house / in a wee little hole / lived a wee little mouse / and a wee little mole.' Thus begins the adventure of two teensy friends on a dark night in the forest. Before the night is over they will trudge through the mush-mucky swamp, crawl beneath sharp thistle-thorns, and climb a gnarled oak to find their way. Little do they know that on the other side of that tall, tall tree is the den of the BIG GIANT bear!
Reviews:
"A very encouraging story in praise of unlikely friendships, told with poetic economy and a nod to the fact that such liaisons are ruefully rare." ©Kirkus 2003
"Wheeler's engaging rhymes and well-timed cross-cutting between the scenes creates an air of shivery expectancy." © Publishers Weekly
