Marble, a young mouse, learns life's valuable lessons in a series of stories dealing with wisdom, personal choice/decision-making, friends, working hard, humility, and honesty. Each story ends with a related scripture.

A mouse enters the house. And there is utter chaos. Here is an action-packed adventure for little ones.

Some ill. on lining papers.

Vincent, a mouse who roams the world carrying his house on his back and stopping where he knows he should, offers food and shelter to animals in need. After setting up his house, he invites a weary bullfrog and a hungry cat inside. Each initially declines the offer, saying his house is too small. But after entering, they find that it is bigger than it looks. Others soon join them: deer, hedgehogs, badgers, rabbits, and a fox. Just as they are sitting down to dinner, a large, hungry bear knocks on Vincent's door. Fearful, the other animals urge their host to turn him away, but Vincent opens his home to the gentle bear, and all is well.

One house seems to contain an entire menagerie of active animals, which get into all kinds of mischief and trouble, but in the end they are all found to be the young narrator.
