FOR WHATEVER REASON I LOVED STORIES INVOLVING MICE AND RATS AS A CHILD...THE FOLLOWING LIST OF FAVES WILL BE UPDATED AS NEEDED:
1. The Great Mouse Detective (animated film) dir. Ron Clements, others 1986
2. Mice on Ice (picture book) Jane Yolen 1980
3. An American Tail (animated film) dir. Don Bluth 1986 (movie-tie in book) Emily Perl Kingsley 1986
4. Mickey's Christmas Carol (animated film) dir. Burny Mattinson 1983
5. Doctor Desoto (picture book) William Steig 1982
6. Danger Mouse (animated TV series) originally produced Brian Cosgrove 1981-92
7. Mystery on the Docks (picture book) Thacher Hurd 1983
Possessed of an averagely shaky memory, quality suggestions and reminders are most welcome!

no little fifel goes west? that's a) mouse and b) western, your two faves!
True, but it was a sham as well, a mere money-grubbing excuse for a sequel! The historical accuracy of Russian immigrants traversing the country for cowboy land is also highly questionable if my memory serves me.
No love for Pea Patch Jig?
When I was 5 or 6, I wrote Thacher Hurd a letter with a drawing of a man whose legs were like the rays of the sun around his head. He wrote back, autographed a book for me, and said he loved the drawing.
Don't recall PPJ. Maybe I was deprived?
Around the same age, I wrote to the illustrious Bill Peet with praise and a few drawings of my own. He sent me a comparably enthusiastic and gracious response with a not terribly brief explanation of his delayed response resulting from a recent stroke.
Apparently he lived several years more though.
