Cute story about Peter a churchmouse who was so hungry he ate the hymn books. A cat was brought to get rid of him as he was thought to be a rat.. When Peter found out the cat was a kitten and the kitten found out the rat was a mouse they grew into a close friendship!

Beautifully illustrated, tenderly told stories about a soft-hearted, near sighted, sleepwalking parson, a Churchmouse, church kitten and (puppy) dog all learning to live with, and despite, each other.
