When a clever and resourceful mouse looks for a safe place to settle
down, she learns that home is wherever you make it. A story about
friendship, hospitality, and building from the award-winning and
bestselling Michael Hall, creator of Red: A Crayon's Story and
Perfect Square.
On a chilly morning, a mouse finds something remarkable: a warm and
welcoming fire. So, she builds a stove to mark the spot. When a fox
chases the mouse but suddenly stops, she builds a floor on the patch of
ground where she is protected. Soon, it seems as though the mouse has
everything she needs for a house. But there's one thing missing:
friends!
House Mouse is a deceptively simple story about hard work, creativity,
and sharing from a master of layered, yet accessible picture books.
Michael Hall's signature bright, bold mixed-media artwork will catch the
eye of the youngest readers, as will the busy mouse's tool collection
and construction work.
House Mouse is playful and surprising and shares a powerful message
about friendship, empathy, and hospitality. A must-have for fans of Mo
Willems and Eric Carle.
