In this twist on an old tale, a lonely grey mouse craves color and excitement in her life. To attract a friend, she assumes various guises: green to charm a frog, zippy stripes to appeal to a zebra, polka dots to lure a ladybug. When all the creatures laugh at her, she feels bluer than blue--until she hears the squeaky little voice of an eager new playmate--another grey mouse. Full-color illustrations.
