This gently suspenseful picture book invites children to join a game of chase. Through lush, gorgeous twilit scenes, a little mouse searches for food and a soft spot to sleep. A sly black cat follows silently behind. But the hunter should beware, too, for something is watching and waiting in the dark. The shadowy hues of Norma Burgin's art complement the pleasingly ominous narrative. The story builds--through rhythmic verse and a memorable, shout-aloud refrain--to a surprise ending that will startle and delight little listeners.

The weather was wild and stormy. The waves heaved and hurled, and in the exploding night, pressed against the rocks, a tiny seal pup lay, barely breathing. The morning after the storm, old Peter found the tiny seal. Gently, he wrapped it in his sweater. At home, he fed the pup from a bottle until it grew from a baby into a young seal. The seal was popular with the local children but old Peter had a warning for them, and a decision to make.
