What Parents Should Know

Mild PerilMild

The mice embark on a 'daring' mission at night, but scenes are adventurous, not frightening.

Sensitive Topics

The central conflict revolves around the potential loss of a home and community, which is a source of anxiety for the characters. The approach is gentle and metaphorical, with the threat being external and impersonal (a failing business). The resolution is entirely hopeful and achieved through the characters' own agency. The book is secular and avoids any complex social issues.
