"The mouse family can't agree on what to watch on TV. . . . One night, the TV doesn't work, and the rodents find ways to get the same kinds of entertainment without it. . . . The cartoon illustrations are delightful, and children will love identifying the mouse-related humor in many of them. . . . Novak gently, and quite successfully, shows that there are countless ways to enjoy oneself as an active participant rather than as a passive viewer".--"School Library Journal", starred review.
