Squeaky Cleaners in a tip!; Squeaky Cleaners in a stew!

The Squeaky Cleaners comprise business-like Nina, hardworking slightly nervous Gina, and Fred, who can be relied upon to save himself from too much hard work and them all from being the 'nice mice' ingredients of Miss Kitty Plush's mouse stew. 6- and 7-year-olds followed the storylines with apparent concentration and became totally involved in solving the stew predicament and aware of the strange mystery surrounding the mess in Sir Rattus' castle.

On average, four lines of clear type per page are accompanied by large attractive, black and white illustrations, so many Year 2 children could, and wanted to, read these for themselves.
