The Mousekin series of books make for delightful reading

My five-year-old daughter and I discovered the Mousekin series of books at our local library and loved them! They are beautifully illustrated and the stories are captivating, bringing the story of the woodland creatures to vibrant life. In "Mousekin's Family", young Mousekin finds a very young mouse and thinks its one of his own. The pair go off in search of a new home for the young mouseling, but it soon becomes apparent that the young mouse is not really interested in learning how to make a new home for itself, being distracted by the exciting things occurring around it. It is up to Mousekin to ensure a safe haven for the little mouse. These books about young Mousekin's adventures are worth tracking down - they will delight any young child and will enhance one's personal library.

Mousekin is Wonderful!

Edna Miller writes another touching story about Mousekin who befriends a little mouse while looking for his own family. Once again the illustrations are breathtakingly beautiful. Edna Miller writes with such tenderness and knowledge of the woodland creatures that it is a joy to read her books to my 6 year old and I love them as well! Buy this book and you won't regret it!
