Motor Mouse and friends are back for three new adventures in this
irresistible second book in a series from the creators of Gooseberry
Park and the Mr. Putter and Tabby books!
Motor Mouse is a busy little mouse, between playing a game of croquet,
riding a fancy bus, and discovering mystery stories. Come along with him
on his adventures!
In "A Good Game of Croquet," Motor Mouse and his brother love playing
croquet and they always play to win. That is, until Valentino starts
watching Peaceful Planet and thinks it might be more peaceful if they
played to lose. Motor Mouse thinks this is nonsense! It is always best
to win...right?
In "Day of the Double Decker," Motor Mouse gets in his car for a full
day of deliveries, but the car won't start! His friend Winston the
mechanic says his car needs to be in the shop for a week! How will Motor
Mouse make his deliveries on time? Then the double decker bus rolls by.
Perhaps Motor Mouse can take the bus. It will be an adventure!
In "The Radio Mystery Book," Motor Mouse loves reading everything,
except mysteries. Mysteries keep him up at night and he can't get into
them during the day. So, he is excited when he discovers the Radio
Mystery Show, where a host reads a mystery book aloud, one chapter a
day. But after listening to the first chapter, Motor Mouse must know
what happens! He rushes to the library, grabs the book from the shelf,
and finds himself at a crossroads. Should he read the rest of the book
all at once, or is it more fun to wait until tomorrow to hear the next
chapter?
This sweet and funny trio of stories is sure to have young readers
wanting to visit with Motor Mouse again and again.
