Product Description
DESCRIPTION: While fastidious Mr. Murry mouse scurries around preparing his home for winter, his easygoing new neighbor Thumbkin mouse enjoys lazing around in the sun and munching on fat pumpkin seeds. Oh how this makes Mr. Murry worry! Ultimately, he opens up his heart and home to lazy Thumbkin and saves him from the chill and loneliness of winter. This delightful rhyming story about a modern day ìOdd Coupleî is sure to warm the hearts of the worrisome and carefree alike.

About the Author

5.0 out of 5 stars Why you should never live in a pumpkin , October 8, 2004
By youbink (LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK USA) - See all my reviews
We just received this book last week , and we've already read it a few times. The story is reminiscent of the ant and the grasshopper.The story is about two mice ,first there's Mr. Murry who always worries and is busy preparing for the winter ahead,and than there's Thumbkin who makes his home in a pumpkin and never thinks about tomorrow. He lies around all day taking it easy, while Mr. Murry is always busy.When the two mice meet , Mr. Murry tries to warn Thumbkin about the foolishness of living in a pumpkin house , but of course Thumbkin doesn't listen.As time passes , the pumpkin rots away and the top collapses. Now Thumbkin's house has no roof .AT first Thumbkin says it doesn't matter he still has half a pumpkin, but he soon discovers that Mr. Murry was right , it's snowing, he's freezing, and he has no where else to go. He should have prepared for the winter.He should have listened to Mr. Murry and moved into a better house. Well , Mr. Murry of course comes to the rescue , he goes to Thumbkin and tells him that he can live with him in his teapot house. I feel that the story teaches some good lessons. It teaches not to just live for today, you do have to think about tomorrow. It teaches about compassion,and helping those less fortunate than yourself. Also, I love the illustrations,and the text flows smoothly, making it a very enjoyable story for both child and adult.

5.0 out of 5 stars Three year old loves this book and so do I, July 14, 2008

It is a shame it is out of print. This is one of the books I don't mind reading to my child over and over again. Funny and detailed artwork to go along with a great story.
