Penny and her family are used to seeing mice in their beautiful two-story house in the farm. And then a mouse comes along, the fattest mouse Penny has ever seen, the one her mother calls the pleasingly plump mouse. It is fat but it doesn't eat cheese. They set traps but it can disappear in a breeze. It is too fat to squeeze into cracks, but it can disappear, and no one will see his tracks. How elusive can fat mouse be?
