![]() Just a note, the humans the mice live with are very crude, and their house is stomach-turningly messy. In fact, I was pleased with the healthy conclusion the book came to-respect and care for all of God’s creation-and I appreciated how it made me think. In both cases, to my great relief, neither got too political. There was also the issue of diversity-Hailey having atypically white blonde hair, and Obadiah being a very blue mouse. ![]() This book did touch on the ethics (or lack thereof) of certain types of lab experiments on animals. Also, Obadiah had some pretty clever strategies! Smart mouse. Hailey was also a neat character, and their friendship proved to be helpful to both of them. I enjoyed his adventures with his new family and his quest to free his old one. The story was actually almost like Stuart Little meets Mrs. This ended up being a really cute book with an important message. ![]() I originally picked this book up because I recognized the illustrator and was interested in seeing more of his illustrations. ![]()
