Description
A Mouse Called Julian follows the tale of Julian, a mouse who is perfectly content avoiding other animals. They often seem to get in the way and, sometimes, even pose a threat to him! However, Julian's life takes an interesting turn when he has an unexpected dinner guest.
When a fox tries to sneak into Julian's burrow for a tasty bite, it finds itself stuck headfirst in Julian's front door! Initially alarmed and cautious, Julian and the fox soon find themselves sharing a lovely dinner. It's not long before each realises they have discovered a lifelong friend in the other.
Book Features:
- A charming story about finding friendship in unusual circumstances.
- Subtly introduces themes of tolerance, loyalty, and generosity toward those who are different from us.
