Little Mouse

I fell in love with Alison Murray's Little Mouse the first time I saw the cover. It has a simple story line that starts out with a child listening to her mom read her a story. "Sometimes, when I'm being very quiet and cuddly, my mommy calls me her little mouse." But this little girl isn't always her mom's little mouse, sometimes she is as strong as an ox! Or waddles like a penguin! With this child, you never know what to expect until you turn the page.

Everything about this book is charming; the retro style drawings, the use of imagination, and the realness of the activities the child is performing makes it a book that parents and children alike will enjoy reading.

Identifying animals is one of the first things a child really learns and enjoys talking about! Reading Little Mouse with your little mouse is a great way to have a child identify animals, help them compare the child's actions/traits to the animal's actions/traits, and get quiet and cozy, cuddly and dozy...just ready for bed!

Enjoy!
