Reach for this book when your child starts showing a deep fascination with how adult objects work, or when they are struggling to understand why certain toys are safe while real machines are not. This charming story follows a family of mice who discover a boy's toy cars and planes left out at night. Through their miniature adventures, children explore the boundary between playful imagination and the physical realities of the world around them. Marie Hall Ets captures the universal curiosity of the small wanting to do what the big do. The story emphasizes that while imitation is a form of play, there are natural limits and responsibilities that come with growing up. It is a gentle, vintage tale that validates a child's wonder while providing a soft lesson on safety and why some things are meant for 'people' rather than 'mice.'
