"Even when you are little, you can imagine big"....that is how this story begins. A little white mouse hears the key locking the library door after it closes for the day. The mouse and his friends explore the contents of many different kinds of library books and imagine that they are characters in the stories.
The story is written in a delightful rhyming prose that children will love. Each rhyme is written in five short sentences that include a wealth of book/library vocabulary words.

My Thoughts:
I have to say Little Library Mouse has become one of my all time favorite story books. I absolutely loved this story so much due to all the creativity among its pages! The illustrations captured my eyes with love with their old school charm and the rustic narrator mouse that graces the pages. This book could make even the most reluctant reader become giddy with the excitement over the adventures awaiting them in the library.

Little Library Mouse by Stephanie Lisa Tara and illustrated by Alex Walton
Definitely one of my favourites! I loved the rhyming - after reading things like Edgar Allan Poe, the simple, sweet sound of words that sound like each other is wonderful. I loved the message that was portrayed, that's exactly how I feel when I read a book. And I'm 5"0 so I can relate to dreaming 'big', lol. The main characters, a mouse, was a really good choice (again assuming th...more

Little Library Mouse is a book about a book lover's dream! Living inside a library and then inside the stories in the book. This story is a fabulous way to show young readers just how limitless their imaginations can be when they fall into a book! The words rhyme and make you want to get up and move about as you read. It's fun to read, to see all the books the mouse finds himself in and the vast array of things he discovers in books. The illustrations in this one are different. Black and white o...more
Four stars: A wonderful adventure that shows where books can take a young reader.
The library closes for the night. In the shadows awaits a curious mouse. He nudges open a book and experiences the wonders that await in the pages. Where can he travel while reading a book? Who can he be? What can he do? What is waiting inside a book? As the night unfolds, the little mouse shows a young reader all the magical and wondrous things that they can encounter while using their imagination and reading a boo...more

I had so much fun reading this book with my daughter. It is bursting with awesome illustrations full of imagination!! It inspires you to have a creative mind. As long as you have an imagination, you can never feel truly alone. Your mind is great company if you know how to use it right.

A sweet little story poem about reading. I love the illustrations too and I must admit that I often buy books just because I think the illustrations are pretty. I have now started downloading children's books onto my ipad because I am hoping that my son might prefer them to real books. Sadly I can't get the kid to show any interest in the gorgeous books in his bedroom! But maybe he'll like them if he can turn the pages by swiping his finger over the touch screen!
So, what will you do, if someone gives you a key to the library and you own it for the rest of the night? More than what you will do, how will you feel? I know I will just be the happiest person in the world. A library, people - for you alone for the next 12 or so hours.. That will be so amazing.
This book is about a mouse after the working hours of the library. Remember, this mouse loves books - well, not to eat but to read. It loves that the books takes it different places and gives the opport...more

I love, love, loved this book. I am a fan of libraries (obviously books are something I adores) and of cute little mice. Little Library Mouse is all about the stories and imagination and I found myself giggling as I read the beautiful verses. You can be anything you want to be as long as you put your mind and maybe imagination to it and the cute little mice sure do; they are chefs and clowns, and lions and tigers and the storytelling is adorable.

My favorite of all of Stephanie’s books. This one spoke to me and the reasoning that I love getting lost in books. This story can inspire reluctant readers and show them what they can get from books. There are so many ways that this Little Library Mouse gets lost in books and so many characters it can be!

In the simple rhyming text here a little white mouse describes the types and genres of stories he and his sister mouse read after the library is closed for the night. Alex Walton draws the cutest mice--the boy mouse with his blue bow tie and the girl with her little red bow, with curling tails and whiskers. However, I didn't care for the mouse man who seemed to be coming out of the books to tell them stories, because he had a mouse head but the body of a man. I would have preferred a dressed-up...more
Little Library Mouse was a story that my children thought was cute and fun, and they liked it. I found it to be amusing, and we all enjoyed the illustrations. The verse was nice, and the rhythm made it easy to follow for the kids.
Little Library Mouse was a charming story that really inspires the imagination.
Little Library Mouse was a charming story that really inspires the imagination.
The text and illustrations work very well together and the message, that books are a source of knowledge and that imagination can take you any where, is a good one. The text is a little awkward and stiff at times but it's a delightful story.
The excitement in the book, "Little Library Mouse" was very eye catching. This story was about A key that locks at closing time at the libraryand unlocks the dreams of a little mouse who waits in the shadows. Skipping, sliding, down the pages of books.He steps inside magical stories, inviting readers to come along for the ride. The age group for this story would be around ages 5 and up. The main artistic element that I loved was the color because although the color was dull it still had meaning...more
I thought this was a charming little book. I actually got it for the kindle, the original kindle, which may have been an issue with my enjoyment. This is a book of very short poems interspersed with images that illustrated them. The images were very good but I wasn't able to see them in color on the Kindle, of course. The poems were apparently uploaded as images too, which meant I couldn't change the font size and the writing was quite small. So, I wouldn't give it great kudos for formatting, bu...more
Very cute book in prose with great art work

I've always believed that magic hides in special places. As a child, people would often stare at my bright red hair, which was very, very bright indeed. Unfortunately, I developed a bad habit of making up rhymes about all of them, and they soon became funny characters. I didn't have much time to think about being different; fanciful lyricisms danced in my head, and no one was safe! Since then, I'v...more
