The mice who live happily under the floorboards are surprised when new visitors arrive… humans! Curious and brave, the mice sneak out to explore. They discover strange and wonderful human things—and lots of tasty food—so maybe these guests aren’t so bad after all.

But everything changes when our mouse narrator gets scooped up and trapped in a jar! His friends rush to help, only to get caught too. Just when they fear the worst, the humans let them go… into a special cardboard “Mouse Land” made just for them. Maybe humans can be pretty nice!

Then comes one last surprise. The mice spot a final visitor—and this one is much scarier than any human. It’s a CAT!

Providing a full interactive picture book experience, Unexpected Guests features a clever gatefold device that reveals the mice in their home under the floorboards, while die cut holes can be found on the front and back cover. These elements elevate this fast-paced and funny story.
