The Mouse Who Became King: The Great Swan Rescue

By Beth Shortsleeve

The Mouse Who Became King: The Great Swan Rescue

A vanished swan, a trailing blue ribbon, and a slippery rescue mission deep beneath the castle

Late one night in their cozy mouse hole, King Arthur and Finn receive urgent news from Smokey the stable cat: Beau the swan has vanished from the castle moat, leaving his mate Diane heartbroken

Following a trail of drifting lily stems and a bright blue silk ribbon into a dark drainage tunnel beneath the castle walls, Arthur and Finn discover Beau hopelessly wedged in a narrow stone bend. When tiny paws and brute strength fail to pull the large bird free, Finn notices a dripping leak of slick kitchen lard overhead.

Can the brave mouse team use a bit of clever kitchen grease to pull off a slippery rescue before sunrise?
