Reviews

[Gary · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another great story appropriate for kids and adults.

[JT Glass · Rating 5 out of 5]

A classic wonderfully told tale of a family of mice that move into an empty house for the winter. Intended for kids that are ready for chapter books but, cozy enough mixed with enough adventurous tension for adults to enjoy.

What an adorable book! Every time I hear little mice in the walls of my old farmhouse in the winter, I think of this book.
