I think this is a children's version of a frat party. Two mice come into a home that is not there's expecting to be feed and the food is fake so they destroy the doll house and steal stuff. It's ok in the end because they pay for it. A very weird tale indeed.

-intended for children -teaches children not to steal -teaches children to pay for what they have broken -interesting plot
What if everything you thought you knew turned out to be nothing but a lie?
That's what these mice experience, and oh boy, is it a terrifying case. These poor mice are misjudged, presented as bad mice, but they were simply shell-shocked at the idea that everything around them had been nothing as it seemed. That their little lives were being turned upside down within a matter of minutes, and everything that was meant to be useful turned out to be nothing but a cheap imitation. Could honestly be compared to The Matrix for the amount of deception and lies being spread within their small world.
But at least they managed to get that feather bed. Can't be having back pain while you're contemplating your very existence. Did the mice even exist to begin with? Were they being manipulated into doing everything they'd been doing from the start? Why was the narrator of the story presenting them as bad? Why was there a narrator? A story? No, no, nooooo!!!

This story is just perfect. It has captured my imagination from the first time I heard it as a little girl.
The juxtaposition of the dolls with their pretty things that don't work for real but the "go out in the perambulator" and the mice that are the right size to use the dolls stuff, but so much of it is useless to them.
Just read it to my little ones tonight for a bed time story.
