故事從一個小男孩的視角展開——他發現家裡來了一隻調皮又超級貪吃的小老鼠。一般老鼠不是最愛啃起司嗎？可這隻小傢伙胃口可大得很，什麼都能咬！
一開始，小男孩以為牆壁上只會多一個小洞，沒想到這只是災難的開始。小老鼠不僅啃掉了踢腳板，還偷偷在夜裡繼續「大快朵頤」，一口接一口。接下來，門被咬、沙發被咬、椅子被咬，就連樓梯也被咬得坑坑洞洞。讀者能隨著男孩的抱怨和押韻的文字，看到整個家一步步「被吃掉」。故事越來越誇張，最後甚至連書本本身都「難逃一劫」！
這本書最吸引人的設計亮點就是 「挖洞設計」。在書頁中，真的會出現被咬掉的缺口和小洞，好像小老鼠真的咬穿了這本書。孩子們在翻頁時，不僅能看到文字描述小老鼠的「大破壞」，還能實際摸到、看到那一個個「鼠咬痕」。這種結合故事與實體設計的方式，讓閱讀變得立體又身歷其境。
重點特色：
-
幽默押韻的敘事 ——讓朗讀更有節奏感，讀起來像打油詩，特別適合親子共讀。
-
挖洞互動設計 ——讓孩子直觀感受到「小老鼠真的咬了書」，激發更多驚喜與好奇。
-
誇張搞笑的情節 ——小男孩的「家被吃光」雖然荒唐，但卻讓孩子們笑個不停。

And then without me knowing
She made another mousey hole
And then just kept on going!
