Problem: They are visiting friends in Wisconsin and the giant mouse lives in California.

Finding items on your shopping list, etc. They make new friends at the theme park and even meet a big music producer who takes them inside Hollywood! And of course, Mrs. Zastrow treats the mice to cheese like they've never seen before! Read on to answer the big questions: What did Jonah see that made him shiver? Who is the yammering Yenta? What do Bernie the mouse and Elvis have in common? Find out in this most educational of cheese books yet.
