Mr. Mousie Goes to Washington

A capital city for a capital mouse! Mousie was very excited to visit Washington. He was especially thankful that visitors of all shapes and sizes are welcome on the National Mall and around the Capitol building itself. Unfortunately, he could not find a Mousie-sized American flag to wave - surprisingly, it seems mouse-sized visitors are not very common. The capitol is very large. In the picture, Mousie is very far from the Capitol and still looks very very small. Mousie wants to go back to Washington to visit his ancestors in the Natural History Museum, but he will have to be very brave because he is smaller than the toes of the giant dinosaurs who live next door. It was cold when Mousie visited Washington the first time, which is why he is all hunched up and his ears are folded down, so he hopes his next trip will be in the springtime. (Mousie went to Washington before Basil the Bear gave him that wonderfully warm plaid jumper...)
