It Could Have Been Worse: By A.H. Benjamin ; Pictures by Tim Warnes

While walking home, an "unlucky" mouse suffers minor mishaps which repeatedly save him from being eaten by various animals Ages 3^-5. Mouse is on his way home when he loses his balance and falls to the ground. He grouses that this isn't his lucky day--but the clear, colorful pictures show that the fall saved him just in time from a big cat that was about to pounce. The same thing happens when he falls into a dark hole; he doesn't realize that he has escaped a bird. A thistle makes him jump, and he escapes a snake . . . and so on. Children will enjoy the suspenseful story and the way the pictures tell them what Mouse doesn't know about his dangers and his narrow escapes. Hazel Rochman Used Book in Good Condition
