Shaina Cade's Reviews > Mouse's First Night at Moonlight School

Another picture book that lured me in with its absolutely presh cover. Animals trotting to witch familiar school, lil bows on their tails and satchels in their lil paws? Reader, I’m d-e-d dead from the cute. So in love with the color palette // cool blues and purples and pops of color in accessories and decorative flag strings and paint cans and teeny desks for the animal students. And such a sweet design for the witch teacher, star showered pointy hat wreathed in herbs. They play hide and seek (to give Mouse a chance to show some courage) and omg Battie, you silly, I love her!! Her spectacles and the fact that she tried to hide behind a fishbowl #myoblivioustwin Just a very cute lil day-in-the-life story and another example of a “life should be this spoopy way” book.

(Although I’m wondering how the animals feel about the animal ingredients lining the bookshelves?? (Eyes of newts and toes of frogs?? Ethically sourced/donated??))
