HOME: THE TALE OF A MOUSE by Miriam Schlein

GENRE: Children's Fiction

MY GRADE: A

SYNOPSIS: A little brown mouse builds his nest with great care but in spite of its perfection something seems to be missing.



MY THOUGHTS: This is a cute and very basic story. We follow a mouse as he gathers material to make a nest. One day he's out looking for nuts and encounters a female mouse sleeping. He doesn't want her to become prey so he brings her back to his nest and they live happily ever after. I really thought this would end with them having babies, but I was wrong.

The illustrations are very nice and done in shades of brown, reddish-brown, and green. The cover has richer color than the pages inside. You can see images from inside the book here.
