A fast-paced chase across town...
The sun hasn't even risen, yet the mouse is awake, the cat's awake, the dog's awake, and soon they're joined by a dogcatcher, a bank robber, a policeman, and a grocer in a wild chase that takes place all in one hour! In this zany race against time, the minutes tick away as an hour passes. A simple, cumulative text and bright, cut-paper illustrations make this action-packed story a winner.
