sweet little book

My 5 year old loves this book. It is probably a little young for her, but, for some reason, she returns to it over and over. The illustrations are very engaging, with lots of cute details. The story is about a mouse who wants a home that will express who she is. Her sisters build a huge, over the top, house, that Mimi says is nice, but, "I want a mouse house where I can be me. Then her brothers build a huge house, that is bright and loud, and, again, she says the same thing. Finally, she builds her own home, a modest, charming, little cottage, that is, as she says, "my mouse house where I can be me"! It is a sweet story, that shows how one can create one's own dreams, with a little hard work and determination. I love the image of all of the female builders too! :)
