When searching for just the right gift, I remembered this lovely book. Little Mouse's Painting has everything you may be looking for in a book for young children. Beautiful illustations, sweet as pie story and a lesson to learn for young and old. Little Mouse paints a picture and all her friends see something different in it. It will become a family favorite.

A lesson in perspective(How things are viewed).

Great illustrations. My 4th grade Art classes loved it.

The beautiful illustrations help make this book one of my favorite childhood stories. It is a heartwarming story of a little mouse who is an artist. She captures her dearest friends in a painting, in which they all see just themselves. "Little Mouse's Painting is a story that can be enjoyed by everyone.

This is one of my favorite books, children's or otherwise, because of the lovely way it teaches that people can look at the same object or situation and see different things because we are all experiencing life from different perspectives. And the truth is that all of the different things that we see are really there, all of them, even though we may see only one aspect of the whole. The artwork is beautiful and the storytelling soulful. I raised my children on this book, and now that my daughter is seventeen and applying to colleges, I am buying a copy for her to take with her when she moves away from home. This gentle story and the detailed luscious artwork are a treat to be savored and shared across the generations.
