The Tale of the Silly Little Mouse is one of the favorite tales by the popular Russian children's writer Samuil Marshak. It is about a baby mouse who will not go to sleep, even to its mother's lullabies. The desperate mama mouse brings in several other animals to sing to the mouse and unfortunately includes a hungry cat in the list of serenaders, who is all too successful at putting the baby mouse to sleep.
I love Samuil Marshak, but I prefer his boooks with Vladimir Lebedev
