Product Description Luki Tawdry is a mouse who lives in a small green cottage by a lake in New Hampshire. The cottage is also occupied by two people and a cat. Every night the man'Mister Bob'sets a small mouse trap (which causes no injury to the occupant), and then every morning he releases the captured mouse outside. Because the trap is a secure place to sleep and get a good meal, Luki uses the 'Tender Trap' as a base for his daily adventures. Each night he returns to the safety, warmth, and food supplied by the Tender Trap, and each morning Mister Bob releases Luki outside to draw attention to those who would destroy the very air we breathe, the land we walk on, the food we eat, and the water we drink. Luki has decided that if this old world of ours is going to be the kind of place it should be, then it is up to all of us'even someone as insignificant as a little mouse'to do everything possible to make things better. He is concerned about kindness, love, the environment, and taking care of nature as much as he can. While Luki Tawdry is not quite Mighty Mouse, he does have an endearing personality all his own'less powerful, more humble perhaps, but a genuine, caring, and compassionate mouse, nonetheless, as he rescues both animals and humans from impending dangers. His main mission is to promote a heightened awareness of our surroundings and to show compassion and love for other creatures, plant life, the environment, and our Mother Earth. Oh yes!and Luki really likes peanut butter, and the nighttime trap that Mister Bob lovingly sets for him each night. We trust Luki will win your heart also.
