Happy Mouseday by Dick King-Smith

Happy Mouseday by Dick King-Smith

Another delightful story from the master of animal fiction, Dick King Smith. "You are NOT keeping a mouse in this house!" Every Saturday - or Mouseday, as Pete calls it - Pete asks his mum and dad if he can have a pet mouse. And every week, the answer is the same. No. Then Pete gets a terrific idea. He could secretly keep a mouse in his tree-house...
