What's going on? It's Carlo the mouse in his mischievous adventures in Hospitalia, a strange place. Carlo the Mouse, Book 3: What's Going On? by Mrs. D is a part of the Carlo the Mouse series. This beautifully illustrated children's book will keep your child laughing and entertained as they encounter the cook, the exterminator and the manager along with Carlo on his search for food. When Carlo finds himself hungry, he wanders throughout the hospital rooms, but his first stop is in the kitchen where he orders a burger. He is puzzled as to why the cook is angry that he's there, and now must continue to run for his life as they all work diligently to get rid of him. As he continues to evade their grasp, he is reminded of his parents' warning to follow the rules in order to learn how to survive on his own. Now he wonders ... will this be enough?
