Synopsis

"Laura Hamilton compassionately and humorously narrates [this] delightful story about a small girl mouse, Wemberly, who worries night and day...Tense background music and sound effects...add a dash of realism to this narrative. Hamilton reads in tiny, soft, nervous-sounding tones that perfectly capture the essence of the anxious mouse. The music becomes bright when Wemberly finally meets a new friend who seems exactly like herself. This superb read-along is perfect to calm all worrying Wemberlys." - Booklist
