A 'really neat' story was the consensus of the class after I read it to them. A tiny mouse and a little girl make expeditions from their cosy bedrooms to the kitchen for late-night snacks. Their encounter is equally traumatic for both of them and the parallels, as they run to their mothers, are heightened as each becomes aware that the other was probably just as frightened.
