A family of five mice sneaks out of their quiet den one night, entranced by the sound of singing nearby. Creeping up on a chorus of frogs in the park, the mice are in awe of the splendid music. “Can’t you read the sign? Frogs only! Out you go!” shouts a fellow concert-goer, and the mice head for home with frog melodies in their ears. Snuggled in bed that night, the mice are inspired to host their own concert. By crafting instruments from old cans, pencils, matchboxes, and things that cling and clang, the family practices making mice music. Soon they are ready for a concert and put posters up all over the city. The night of the show, the Five Nice Mice make their debut to a full house! The audience is packed with furry friends, including some green amphibians disguised with whiskers. Song after song, the Five Nice Mice are a hit. But it is not until the frog guests are revealed that true musical harmony is achieved. (Ages 3–7)
