A Home Max
In a little shop in a little town, lives a little mouse named Tabi.
But when the lights dim, and the door clicks shut for the night, Tabi wakes and goes to work.
During the day, Tabi sleeps snuggled deep in a cubbyhole.
In
Tabi scrubs and sweeps his little shop. He tidies until everything is right where it belongs.
Tabi puts out the newly arrived candies. Where there was licorice yesterday, now there are chocolates!
He can’t help but admire them all. There are cars and rockets, trains and balls, guitars and horns . . .
Tabi makes a sign for the toys so customers know right where to find them.
