5.0 out of 5 stars
A book for all children including the grown-up ones.,
By Molly Ciliberti "mc" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mouse and His Child (Paperback)
The Mouse and His Child is the most beautiful book ever written for children and for those who remember having been a child. It is a crime that it is out of print and the reprint should use his wife's illustrations because they are perfect. It is a book about hope and forgiveness that is a treasure to read together with your children. When we finished the book, my daughter with tears in her eyes asked me to read the last chapter again and with tears in my eyes I did. "Be Happy".

A Fairy Tale For Adults?,
By Landon Christley (SF Bay Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mouse and His Child (Paperback)
I stumbled across a worn paperback copy of this book in a used book store several years ago and enjoyed reading it immensely--as I had Hoban's challenging Ridley Walker. While children may like this book because the writing is direct and clear and the story exciting, I feel now as I did then--given the story's nuances--that Hoban had an adult audience in mind when he wrote it. Wish I could ask him.

Bring this book back into print!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mouse and His Child (Paperback)
It is almost a crime that it is no longer available. I read this book when I was a child and very soon afterwards, the movie was made. It was an inspiration. The characters grew. They changed. They explored and discovered. They were toys in a vast universe beyond their comprehension and I felt there were layers of meaning to be uncovered. I no longer have this book. I gave it to a nephew who at the time did not enjoy reading. Now he is going to college to become an English major. He has since passed the book on to another child. In my own search to become self winding, the simple reminders from this book still occasionally wisp through my memories and alight my face with joy.
