A charming book of reverse childhood psychology which children will appreciate on one level and every parent who ever had a stubborn child to contend with will appreciate on quite a different level.

"'What are we, Papa?' the toy mouse child asked his father. 'I don't know,' the father answered. 'We must wait and see.' So begins the story of a tin father and son who dance under a Christmas tree until they break the ancient clockwork rules and are themselves broken. Thrown away, then rescued from a trash can and repaired by a tramp, they set out on a perilous odyssey to follow the child's dream of a family and a place of their own." A rare Hoban book for the school-age child with, of course, illustrations by the incomparable Lillian Hoban.
