Among Mrs. Brice''s 25 mice, all but one do everything
together. And this mouse''s difference ''comes in handy when the mice
meet a cat, and while twelve run this way and twelve run that, this
mouse runs this way and that, wearing out the cat and saving them
all. The simple, gracefully repetitive text and bright drawings
will make a preschool hero of the clever little mouse.

While Hoff was still in high

assembly that "Kid, someday you''ll be a great cartoonist!" At 16,
he enrolled at the National Academy of Design in New York City. At

depicting tenements and lower-middle class life in the
city.
Hoff drew two long-running
syndicated comic strips: Tuffy 1939–1949 and Laugh It

walrus-mustached man, eventually appeared as the father in his
daily Tuffy, done for the King Features Syndicate from 1940
to 1950.
His cartoons have appeared in a
variety of publications including, the New Yorker,
Esquire, Look magazine. He was also the host of a
television show, Tales of Hoff, in which he drew and told
stories.
