This was a very quick read, especially if you skip the pages of color descriptions, as I did. I rescued seven feeder mice and had no idea what I was getting into. This book was very helpful. I had been concerned because one habitat I bought had bars farther than a quarter inch apart. (It seems like there are no habitats build specifically for mice). The book said something along the lines that they won't escape if they like their habitat. That turned out to be true for me. I was tempting fate by putting six females in the large cage with iffy bars (the one male is in a 10 gallon tank with a mesh lid, perfect) but the girls love their mouse mansion and don't seem inclined to leave.

Informative!
This is a very informative book. I would have loved more pictures, and more info on their habitat in the wild.

Mice - Your Pet Mouse Happy Care Guide, is a handy little hand book about pet mouse care. It is easy to read, quick, smoothly written, and well structured, and it has some nice common sense advice about mouse care (although I don't agree with all the advice). I also like that the author is kind to mice, e.g. he advocates cooperative, kind handling (no tail-lifting, except in emergencies).
On the downside, I overall found it a bit meagre as far as pet mouse care goes. The parts actually about pet mouse care are brief and basic, and some of the info is then repeated in shorter versions as one progresses towards the end of the thin book, to serve as reference, quick-look-up kind of info. This is followed by a short chapter on mice in popular culture, which to me seemed like a filler topic, as if the author had run out of mouse care topics already.
Another filler portion is a large section on show mouse type variations, listing all the different coat colour variations - over 17 pages! (plus more, as some of the info is repeated later), without illustrations. Some readers may be interested in colours, but if so, they'd probably want to see them, rather than read through a long list of brief descriptions of what they look like... so why not refer to a website that shows them and describes them thoroughly? That could have been fitted on half a page, instead of taking out a big chunk of a book that's supposed to be mainly about mouse care.
In conclusion, from a pet mouse owner's perspective, I learned some things from the book, and it is a nice quick look-up topics handbook, but I don't think the book prioritises pet mouse care high enough. With the title "Your Pet Mouse Happy Care Guide: The Must Have Book for Anyone Passionate about Owning a Mouse, Includes Health, Diet, Housing and Lots More", I expected the book to focus mainly on pet mouse care, and would have liked more in depth information about key topics such as health care, diet, behaviour, and other topics that are essential for pet mouse welfare.

I learned some things that I never knew about mice, but the information I was looking for was not included. There is nothing about hand-raising orphaned mice. However, there is information about actual show mice, as in competitions for how cute and close to breeding parameters your mouse is. What fun! It's a great toe in the water book to see if this pet is for you, but don't expect a lot of details.

Good introductory book
This book is a good general introduction to mouse ownership. It's a quick read, making it a great resource when you need a quick answer to a question.
