During the 1940s through the 1970s, there were few restaurants in small towns in the Deep South. A pastor often drove to preach at a church that could be two to three hours from his or her home. Providing a meal for the preacher and the preachers family was an important service.

Author Mary Page-Clays Preachers Coming to Dinner shares the experiences of getting ready to host the preacher and family after Sunday services. Told in verse and with illustrations by Robert Hall, you will see how much work went in to hosting this very special dinner.

Preachers Coming to Dinner is an interesting and entertaining look at life in the Deep South of the past.

When a mouse sneaks into a house and finds a full pantry, he believes he has found the perfect place to live. As a delightful smile spreads across his furry face, he happily eats and eats.

After he hears a mighty shout to get out, the mouse scrambles to hide from the people who live in the house. But when he suddenly hears the sound every mouse dreads, he soon learns a valuable lesson that some homes are not his to have.

The Mouse in the House is the delightful tale of a little rodent who invades a home and discovers that the owners may not be as welcoming as he thinks.
