Chester, a mouse, is almost too good: he does everything just so -
from double-knotting his shoes to carrying a first-aid kit. His
friend Wilson is just like him; they are always together. When
Lilly, an imaginative hellion, moves in next door, they find her
too uproarious to play with - till the day she scares away some
bullies who are pestering them; but when they finally get to know
Lilly, they find her creativity makes life more interesting - and,
of course, she has something to learn from them as well. The
reversal of the stereotype here is hardly novel, but Henkes'
pungent dialogue is amusing, and his illustrations engaging. Using
two or three vignettes per page, he represents his characters
mouse-size, which emphasizes what comically tidy, particular little
people Chester and Wilson are. This should double well as an easy
reader. (Kirkus Reviews)
Chester and Wilson have their own way of doing things, and they do
everything together. When they cut their sandwiches, it is always
diagonally. When they ride their bikes, they always use hand
signals. If Chester is hungry, Wilson is hungry, too. They are two
of a kind, and that's the way they like it--until indomitable
Lilly, who has "her" own way of doing things, moves into the
neighborhood. Full color.
