This is a picture tale. No words are needed as you follow little mouse on many adventures in a day of his life. Beautifully illustrated and very imaginative. Children of all ages can enjoy following his capers.

My boys, ages 3, 5, and 6 LOVE this book! Even with repeated readings over the course of two years they have remained engrossed in the travels of the little mouse as he leaves his home and embarks on several accidental adventures through town. They are always concerned about whether he will be able to find his way home again...he does.

The pictures tell the story, so it is perfect for little ones to "read" to each other or their parents. After reading the book, each of my boys became more aware of how different systems operate together, i.e., when people need things, they travel to different stores or locations to get them by different modes of transportation.

This book has been a charmer for an entire childhood in our home. With wordless books, young readers may spend a few moments solving the story line and enjoying its presentation. Readers who pick up Mouse Around, whether young or old, typically linger over each page as they follow the adventures of one mouse who has fallen out of the nest. The intricacies of the plot as it twists and turns pulls the reader in with delight and its happy ending completes this appealing circular tale.
