"Like the fantasies of Tolkien, Thurber, E. B. White, <I>The Mouse and His Child</I> is filled with symbolism and satire, violence and vengeance, tears and laughter." -- <I>The New York Times</I><P></P>The images stay with you long after the book is done: the toy mouse and his father, on a journey together joined hand in hand; Manny Rat, the nefarious lord of the junkyard, stalking the toy mice for their clockwork parts; Uncle Frog, spouting wisdom and nonsense from within a glove; and the Bonzo Dog Food dog, repeating himself endlessly on a label, fading away to the last visible dog...Russell Hoban's novel is many things: a stirring adventure story, a sharp-witted comedy, and the moving tale of a father and son struggling to return to a state of grace.Called one of the great works of children's literature of the twentieth century -- but with an audience that spans ages and times -- <I>The Mouse and His Child</I> has been lovingly re-illustrated by Caldecott Medalist David Small for a new generation and a new millennium.
