Little Tim worries he might be missing something as he packs and repacks his overnight bag for a trip to Granny`s house. After a day of fun at Granny`s, Tim trots off to bed, only to discover that his favorite stuffed animal, Small the mouse, is missing. At the same time, Small discovers Tim has left him behind. As Tim scours Granny`s to find Small, the resourceful mouse scurries across town to find his owner. Watercolor paintings accompany the text.
