Busy, Busy Mouse

By Virginia L. Kroll

Book Overview

Have a bath, work out, take the car for a spin . . . The busy, lovable mouse in this picture book has one long "To Do" list! But he can't even get started until the family he shares his house with goes to sleep. So he spends the day resting in his mouse hole waiting patiently for the night to come. When it finally does, and the family is tucked in bed, this little mouse goes on one busy adventure! A simple, rhyming text describes the family's busy day and peaceful night, while Fumi Kosaka's clever, playful illustrations let us know what the mouse is up to.

Customer Reviews

seriously?

my son is 18 months old and absolutely LOVES this book. i am not exaggerating. he has me read it to him a dozen times a day sometimes. then he has his dad read it to him. on christmas he walked around with this book (hes had it for a while)and ignored all of his new toys. im not sure what it is about this thing. its a cute book. not many words so it holds his attention. its well made. has big colorful pages. we are on our second copy because he ripped the pages so much from turning and turning. thumbs up!

Your children will love it!

There are hundreds of children's books, but this one stands out as one of the best. My 21-month old can almost "read" this book, in that she has requested us to read it to her so many time, she has all but memorized the text. The clever idea of humans running about their lives busily by day, and mice doing so by night is fun for children imaginations. Bottom-line: Busy Busy Mouse passes the kid test. We originally checked this out from the library, but ended up buying it, because our 21-month old and our 40-month old wanted us to read it over and over again.
