New York: Clarion Books, (1986) dj. Hardcover - Told from the perspective of the little mice, this is the story of three brothers, clad in bright plaid shirts and lederhosen, who leave their snug cottage, intent upon finding the perfect gifts for their mother. Their early morning search is filled with dangers: a snake hidden in the thick underbush, a fox running by, but the mice persist. The illustrations by Jan Brett enhance the perspective with a dandelion fluff towering over their heads and a strawberry so big, it tips Biggest Mouse backwards. Slightly oversized format, unpaginated. ISBN: 0-899193870.
