''Mousenet'', subtitled when "When Mice Do More Than Point and Click," is a 2011 children's fiction book, written by Prudence Breitrose, with illustrations by Stephanie Yue, published by Disney Hyperion. Per the author, the book was inspired by a dream of hers in which computer mice became mixed up with real mice. In the story, the human invention of computers has allowed mice to evolve, allowing them to create their own Internet society and develop their own form of sign language. The events of the story are set in motion when the main human protagonists' uncle invents the "Thumbtop," the world's smallest computer. Thus begins their mission: to make contact for the first time ever and begin mass production of the Thumbtop, a device that is not practical for humans, but is just the right size for mice. To do this, however, they must first win the trust of Megan Miller, a girl that until recently had been living in the wild, the niece of the inventor of the Thumbtop.

* BusmansHoliday: Whiskerpedia, the website where mice go to get their information, describes a "vacation" as being a period of enforced boredom which humans pretend to enjoy, doing things such as immersing themselves in water until their pelts wrinkle or inflicting pain on their bodies with unaccustomed exercise. Therefore, when Megan has to temporarily stop the mice from doing their regular jobs, she gives them another job to do, rather than forcing a vacation on them.
