In a castle on a hill, in a great grand hall,
mice are getting ready for the Mousequerade Ball.
They dress in their finest. What a grand affair!
But when an unexpected guest arrives,
the mice get quite a scare.
Is the evening ruined? Should they run in fright?
Or will a gallant mouse stand up and save the splendid night?
Counting up to ten and back again, dancing all the while, this delightful story invites readers--and dancers--to the event of the season: the Mousequerade Ball!

Mortensen's verse text sets an upbeat rhythm and a jovial tone in the first half of the book, which contrasts nicely with the second. Strong black lines define the characters and their actions in Lewin's graceful watercolors, which illustrate the verses with drama, humor, and style. The artwork shows up beautifully from a distance, making this a good counting book for classroom settings as well as individual reading. (Booklist)
It is an enchanting evening to remember (and a fine reminder that even a primary concept can get dressed up). (Kirkus)
Lewin's loose, breezy watercolors tap into the blend of elegance and comedy in this diverting animal fantasy. (Publishers Weekly)
A lovely story of celebration and dance. . . . This book will appeal to a variety of audiences, engaging readers and listeners alike. (School Library Connection)
Kids will dance the night away with this classic counting story brought to life by best-selling, Caldecott Honor-Winning illustrator Betsy Lewin.
