House Mouse

Synopsis coming soon.......

“Once upon a time there was a little mouse house. It was like a doll’s house, but not for dolls, for mice.” Not proper mice, but a flannel He-Mouse and She-Mouse with beady eyes and bristle whiskers who stand quite still, propped on their hind legs in the sitting room. Mary knows real mice run and scamper, and disappointed with her new gift, she puts the mouse house away in her room. Meanwhile, down in the basement, a real mouse named Bonnie has been jostled out of her woefully inadequate flowerpot home by her older brothers and sisters. Overlooked by her harried parents and desperate for shelter, Bonnie ventures upstairs and finds the mouse house. And before too long what was a miniature make-believe house becomes a marvelously messy home for proper mice who know how to play, much to everyone’s delight.

Welcome to the painstakingly crafted teeny, tiny world of Mouse. Mouse and Musetta are the sweetest pair of rodents you’ll ever lay eyes on. This is the story of how they met and came to live in a fabulously turned-out loaf of bread. Each lovingly crafted scene is packed with incredible details—from the salt shaker end table to the walnut shell cabinets (with hinges!) to the postage stamp art. Really, how could Musetta resist popping in for a nibble of the cheese that lay on the table, that stood in the house…that Mouse built?

While the rest of the house is sound asleep, the hardworking mice scurry about to prepare for a festive Christmas day by making snow mice, trimming the tree, and decorating cookies. On board pages.

A heart can be hopeful, or silly, or happy. A heart can be rugged, or snappy, or lonely. A heart holds every different feeling, and debut author-artist Michael Hall captures each one with a delicate touch. For each feeling, the bold, graphic artwork creates an animal out of heart shapes, from "eager as a beaver" to "angry as a bear" to "thoughtful as an owl." An accessible and beautiful debut, My Heart Is Like a Zoo is everything a classic picture book should be: honest, sincere, and speaking directly to even the very youngest child. Ages: 0 - 5

When three costumed trick-or-treaters come to Mouse's door, he crawls into one of their candy-filled bags to see what Halloween's all about.

Through a stroke of good timing and some quick thinking, the mouse finds himself free, full of purpose, and exquisitely happy. When his life is turned upside down by an unfortunate chain of events involving traps, rat poison, and one unmotivated cat, this seemingly ordinary mouse must come to grips with his new situation and his true purpose in life.

Fernando the mouse loves helping at the opera, but singer Dolores thinks she deserves a bigger assistant.
