Recommended by the Adults Who Read Children's Books book club.

A sneaky seek-and-find where all of the employees at the Park Snoot Hotel utterly gaslight the reader about the impossibility of a mouse's presence in the hotel ("No, no, no, there is no mouse here....Do you see a mouse? I do not see a mouse"), guaranteed to make observant readers absolutely lose their minds. Despite all the denial, Hyde & Snide Elegant Pest Management is brought in, but the mouse - quite obvious to readers - is invisible to Hyde and Snide. They certify the hotel mouse-free and leave - and the mouse waves goodbye from a window.

This was a cute book about a mouse that no one seen, but was always there. Everyone in the hotel said that they seen no mouse. As the mouse trappers left the mouse waved goodbye. Can teach children to look carefully.
