Owen mouse has a yellow comfort blanket. It goes everywhere with him. Owen's parents are not concerned until nosy neighbour Mrs. Tweezers announces he is 'too old' to carry it around. Her solutions are original, but Owen outwits her every time. When Owen is about to start school, mum finds the answer. She makes the now not-so- fuzzy blanket into lots of handkerchiefs that he can take to school one at a time. Lively, cartoon-style pictures.
