There are hundreds of children's books, but this one stands out as one of the best. My 21-month old can almost "read" this book, in that she has requested us to read it to her so many time, she has all but memorized the text. The clever idea of humans running about their lives busily by day, and mice doing so by night is fun for children imaginations.

Bottom-line: Busy Busy Mouse passes the kid test. We originally checked this out from the library, but ended up buying it, because our 21-month old and our 40-month old wanted us to read it over and over again.

With simplistic wording and a minimal amount of lines per page, the writer and illustrator have neatly created a peacefully harmonious picture book that gently takes the reader through the stages of a day for a mouse and the people who share the same house. With lots of rounded edges and mellow coloring, this story is very short and sweet. I would recommend this for an evening storytime, one where you can slow the pace of reading the book and allow the children to enjoy the illustrations at a slower pace as well. A quick read but fun and one that many children will enjoy.
A little too short (with only four words per page)to make this a really solid storytelling book for my taste. Recommended for children ages 0-5.

my son is 18 months old and absolutely LOVES this book. i am not exaggerating. he has me read it to him a dozen times a day sometimes. then he has his dad read it to him. on christmas he walked around with this book (hes had it for a while)and ignored all of his new toys. im not sure what it is about this thing. its a cute book. not many words so it holds his attention. its well made. has big colorful pages. we are on our second copy because he ripped the pages so much from turning and turning. thumbs up!
