Peter. Horasek used saturated and rich colors as well as rubbing and collage techniques to make each double-page image more layered. In the whole picture story, not only the text and pictures are perfectly matched, but also the charm of the little mouse is vivid.
有一天，小老鼠看到一個好大的蘋果，牠好想好想吃，但是家裡實在太小了，根本放不下這顆大蘋果。為了大蘋果，小老鼠決定找一個大新家，於是，展開了找尋大新家的冒險旅程！
這是一個雙線進行的有趣故事：小老鼠一邊不停地找尋大一點的房子，一邊卻因忍不住飢餓而把蘋果越啃越小。為了凸顯對比的趣味，作者藉由不規則的軋型洞穴設計，讓故事場景在寬廣明亮的戶外與狹窄黑暗的洞穴交替進行，不但巧妙串起了故事軸線與閱讀節奏，更讓整個故事充滿張力。
參與小老鼠找新家旅程，過程中不但可以體驗冒險、幽默與窺視的趣味，更能感受到作者奇妙而豐富的想像力！
作者彼得．霍拉賽克運用了飽和豐富的色彩以及拓印、拼貼的技法，讓每個跨頁圖像更有層次感。在整本圖畫事中，不僅文圖搭配得很完美，小老鼠的神韻更是活靈活現。
