Editorial Reviews
Review
"Showing [Stein's] customary gift for spot-on evocations of childlike voice and sensibility. . . . Sometimes snail mail is just better. Here's proof."
(Kirkus Reviews, starred review )"A clever and enticingly child-friendly format. . . . . Young ones will have more than their fair share of fun, and they'll understand the longing for someone who's gone away."
(Booklist )"Mouserella's ebullience comes through on every page. . . . Delightfully precocious letter. . . . Exercise in joyful self-expression."
(Publishers Weekly )"Will prompt children to think about their own letter writing. Those who have never written a letter will be encouraged to do so."
(School Library Journal )

Format:Hardcover
A young mouse in the city writes a collection of letters to her Grandmouse in the country, starting with a message about a beaded belt and ending with a thank you. A spirited young mouse, Mouserella will gain the affection of children ages 4-7, and possibly encourage them to start a journal and/or to write letters of their own.

Format:Hardcover
Mouserella writes a letter to her grandmouse about all the things she is doing now that she has returned home from Grandmouse's house. She includes drawings and photographs and maps to shares all the stories of things that have happened to her since she returned home. Written on colored notebook paper, this is a fun format for a book.
"We went to the museum.
It was air-conditioned there.
I draw the cave mouse with big claws.
I saw a grandmouse in there but it wasn't you.
We ate fries in the cafeteria with squishy packs of ketchup.
I bet you don't have them in the country.
(I saved one for you.)"

The young city mouse writes letters to her country grandmother. Illustrations look child-like and the text seems to be very simple, so most children will be inspired to create their own notes and letters. Script, doodles, and drawings, on the letter pages will be enjoyed by children. Getting youngsters to write is the underlying purpose. After reading this book of letters to grandma, hopefully kids will grab some paper, pencil, and markers and craft a letter to their grandma or someone close to them. Creative and cute, the book encourages kids to just write!
