Mouse's Wood
Daily Telegraph and Observer Children's Book of the Year
Described as 'an utter gem' by the Telegraph, this exquisitely illustrated picture book with die-cut flaps follows the woodland ramblings of Mouse through the change in seasons.
Written in a gentle rhyme that reflects the slow pace of Mouse's rambling journey, and illustrated in the inimitable style of Alice Melvin, Mouse's Wood is a heart-warming celebration of slow living in nature.
The story follows Mouse, who first ventures out in wintry January to visit his friend Squirrel. Mouse moves on to wake up Hedgehog for the arrival of spring and as he continues along the path in the wood, Mouse's journey from friend to friend maps out the changes in seasons from January through to December. From picnicking among the bluebells with Mole in May and picking berries with Dormouse in June, to taking refuge in Fox's cosy caravan as winter draws in.
