Little Freddie Whitemouse, of Number 16 Skirting Board West, simply hates being a mouse. Mice are terribly small, frightened of everything and don't have any fun at all. He would much rather be a growling tiger, free to roam the land; or a big happy dog, allowed to play and loved by all. So when a sorcerer toad hears his pleas and offers his help, there is really little else he could ask for. So as not to make any rash decisions, Freddie spends a week as each animal. What will Freddie discover on his amazing adventure? And will he ever want to be just a little mouse again?
