When a little mouse feels that he's "nobody's mouse," he decides to think of ways to impress his mother, father, sister, and especially his new baby brother. Readers will enjoy the delightful ways this little mouse goes about turning himself into a "somebody." What he doesn't know, however, is that he's always been somebody special, and his family has loved him all along. Rhyming text and cheery illustrations complement one another, creating a compelling world for young readers but its positive message is attractive to readers of all ages. With warmth and humor, the authors of this timeless picture book, first published over 20 years ago, strike a chord without being preachy, and all will certainly appreciate the idea that everyone is a "somebody."
