From the publisher

A California Young Reader Medal Winner
A Texas Bluebonnet Master List Selection
A Bank Street Children's Book Committee Outstanding Children's Book of the Year
A Book Links Lasting Connection

In this award-winning, delightful lost (and found) classic, one mouse searches for a home to call his own.

Though his life begins "in a commonplace way," Christopher Mouse is not the least bit common. From his birth in an ordinary wire cage to his close encounter with a large cat in the Egyptian room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Christopher proves an adventurer of the most intrepid sort--and a budding poet as well.

Through the force of will and good luck, this rather extraordinary mouse finds his own small way in a very large world.

First line

My life began in the most commonplace way.
