Touches the Heart

It's a beautiful story to read aloud, it has a pleasant rhythm. The story is about a little mouse looking for a strong husband in order to make up for her own weakness. She searches high and low only to find that what she was looking for was there all along. I love the ending. The illustrations are gorgeous. This books is especially good for young girls who need self validation.

The Mouse Bride

I work in the children's Department at a library and see many books. When I came across this one I instantly fell in love with it. It is beautifully illustrated. The story line though having a predictable ending is quite enchanting and very entertaining. I am so sad to see that it is out of print. It is one I would love to have in my private collection.

A Secret Treasure

I was so disappointed to see that this book is out of print. I'll treasure my copy all that much more! This book is illustrated so beautifully and has such a sweet message, it is one of my all time favorites in my childrens' collection. It keeps you guessing right up until the end, when it seems pleasingly obvious where the story was heading all along! I love the characterization of the different elements. A very warm and interesting book. If you're looking for something special for a child in your life, this is it!
