Alexander and the wind-up mouse

"Help! Help! A mouse!" There was a scream. Then a crash. Cups, saucers, and spoons were flying in all directions. Alexander ran for his hole as fast as his little legs would carry him. All Alexander wanted was a few crumbs and yet every time they saw him they would scream for help or chase him with a broom. Unhappy that he is not welcome in the house as is his friend the wind-up mouse, real mouse Alexander sets out to find the Magic Lizard who can remedy the situation.

First sentence: One day, when there was no one in the house, Alexander heard a squeak in Annie's room.
