What is Mouse in the house about?

There’s a mouse in Mr and Mrs Homeowner’s house, and they want it out! So they call in Mr Bosh, the big chief mouse-catcher, and his assistant, Mr Bumble. Together, they try every trick they can think of, from setting a clever trap to bringing in a very large cat – and even an elephant. But this speedy, sneaky mouse is always one step ahead. Can the determined mouse-catchers finally catch their tiny, troublesome guest?
