Book Description
for House Mouse by Michael Hall
From the Publisher
When a clever and resourceful mouse
looks for a safe place to settle down, she learns that home is wherever you
make it. A story about friendship, hospitality, and building from the
award-winning and bestselling Michael Hall, creator of Red: A Crayon's Story
and Perfect Square.
On a chilly morning, a
mouse finds something remarkable: a warm and welcoming fire. So, she builds a
stove to mark the spot. When a fox chases the mouse but suddenly stops, she
builds a floor on the patch of ground where she is protected. Soon, it seems as
though the mouse has everything she needs for a house. But there's one thing
missing: friends!
House
Mouse is a deceptively simple story about hard
work, creativity, and sharing from a master of layered, yet accessible picture
books. Michael Hall's signature bright, bold mixed-media artwork will catch the
eye of the youngest readers, as will the busy mouse's tool collection and
construction work.
House Mouse is playful and surprising and
shares a powerful message about friendship, empathy, and hospitality. A
must-have for fans of Mo Willems and Eric Carle.
