In this adaptation of the classic nursery rhyme, a lot more happens after the clock strikes one and the mouse runs down. At two, the cat gets hungry for mouse-tail stew. And at the top of each hour, more animals and people join in the chase, which races through the house, out the door, across the barnyard, into town, and back again. Having outrun everyone, the mouse is safe for the moment…until the clock strikes one again!

Each scene features a different kind of clock face, and a special section at the end teaches kids the difference between analog and digital clocks.
