Christopher Mouse may be small, but he has big adventures . . . his conversational account of his life will delight young readers. -School Library Journal
Benson's highly textured, hatching-dense drawings enhance the slightly period flavor . . . Christopher and his brethren are engagingly and authentically portrayed. -The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
