One day - for no particular reason - they decided to tidy up their house, make the beds, and prepare pudding of varying temperatures.

Didn’t Love the Narration
We love Kevin Henkes and all the Penny books but I didn’t love Cynthia Nixon’s narration. She speaks very very slowly and for some reason her voice for a little mouse sounds like a nasally old lady?!? It’s weird and sullen.
