I read this book for my kids and I was reminded of those magical, good old days of reading Enid Blyton and watching Wind in the Willows on the television.
Meet Mrs. Tittlemouse, a very tidy wood mouse who takes pride in her well-kept home. Her tidy home, however, invites a lot of unwelcome attention from untidy and uninvited visitors: beetles, ladybirds, spiders. She gets rid of all of them quite unceremoniously. Until, she meets her match in Mr. Jackson, a toad who enjoys visiting Mrs. Tittlemouse, uninvited, of course. She tries her best to get rid of him without much success. That is, until she hits upon a brilliant solution.
