Mouse's Wood: A Year in Nature

By Alice Melvin

Book Overview

Written with a gentle rhyme that reflects the slow pace of Mouse's rambling journey, and illustrated in Alice Melvin's inimitable style, Mouse's Wood is a heartwarming celebration of slow living in nature. This beautifully designed book also features special die-cut flaps and includes a spread featuring a nature calendar of plants, birds, and animals for children to search for in the wild.

Mouse 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.

Customer Reviews

Calm and engaging

I bought this book after seeing someone show it on IG. It is so cute. It's calm, yet engaging. My 4-year-old loves opening all the doors, and we talk about what we see in the little houses and who lives there. Very cute; he has requested the other Mouse books (There is a river one, a sea one, and probably a few others- unsure). It reads like poetry. Only a few lines of words on each page.
