A lovely little tale of mice living in a dolls' house from the creator of Paddington Bear. Emily Sutton's illustrations are really something special. This has the feel of a midcentury picture book and I loved every page of it.

One of the cutest picture books I’ve ever seen. Author of Paddington Bear partners with an impeccable illustrator to make something truly darling. I would hang these illustrations on my wall.

This book is beautifully illustrated and worth sharing with a child just for that. The story is unoriginal and seems a bit under- developed.

I don't know how anyone grows up afraid of mice when childrens' books are populated by so many adorable ones! The Perks, a delightful family of 13 lives in a dollhouse in a castle. Their adventure may be a tad familiar,though with original touches, but the illustrations absolutely make this book for me. Mrs. Perk is my idol.

a simple tale with delightful illustrations throughout that evokes the charm of smallfilms stop motion classics. indeed it could almost be a story bagpuss might tell the mice on the mouse organ. a little joy to read and one children will fall in love with.

I LOVE Emily Sutton's illustrations, and so I ordered a few of her books from the library. I knew this one would be a hit, as my oldest enjoys a little critters and animals. In fact, after reading this book, he said, "I wish I was a mouse," which is so funny to me.

Divas zvaigznītes par skaistajām ilustrācijām. Pats stāsts - nekas īpašs.

The illustrations and details of this book make it quite lovely...but it lacks the magical spirit of his other books.
