When a hobo cat tells Tom Mouse tales of travel, he boards a train headed for Chicago -- and an adventure in a world that's big and scary and exciting and beautiful. From a much-lauded and best-selling author, Tom Mouse is a tale of a mouse, a train, and a woman with a pocketful of surprises.

Booklist “The quiet dignity of the telling shows respect for its young audience. The warm colors and softly shaded forms in Downing's artwork create a series of appealing illustrations reflecting the story's essential charm. This is one mouse tale without silliness or sentimentality.”
