He decides to live a little and order the house specialty -- a live mouse. When the headwaiter asks if they should kill the mouse, Mr. Maxwell says that isnt necessary. He knows the Paw and Claws mice are bred for politeness! But this particular live mouse cant keep quiet -- would Mr. Maxwell like to add a little salt? Or order a glass of wine? Would he mind saying a little prayer before eating? My, what a bold and wordy mouse! Mr. Maxwell hopes the mouse doesnt give him indigestion ? Richly illustrated and full of surprises. Mr. Maxwells Mouse is a David-and-Goliath story with claws, whiskers and tails.
