Because hes tiny and likely to be lost, he is the least-borrowed of the Book Buddiestoys that children can check out of the library just like a bookand he almost never gets to leave the library. But the little mouse finally meets the right match in Seth, a boy who is about to attend his first sleepover.

Are both boy and mouse in for an unexpected adventure Charmingly illustrated and offering a window into the secret life of toys (including a suspenseful glimpse at where all the households lost toys go), this title in the endearing Book Buddies series explores common fears and quiet bravery.
