OK, I had to pry this one away from Lance long enough to actually read it myself!  He has been so enamored with looking at the train pictures in this one!

 
The discontented Tom Mouse longs to travel.  He is tired of living in a hole in the wall at the train station.  As he watches the trains go by each day, he just can't take it anymore and he decides to hop on!

Once aboard, he initially has trouble finding food...until Ms. Powers comes along.  What seems to be an odd fit for a friendship, turns out to be something beautiful.  I hope you enjoy this sweet tale.
