The Mouse Who Became King: An Underground Escapade

By Beth Shortsleeve

During his nightly patrol through the castle corridors, King Arthur receives an urgent scroll delivered by Barnaby, the giant, friendly tabby cat. Sealed in bright red royal wax and written in wobbly crayon, the message is from Prince Jordan and Princess Abbie: "Arthur HELP It's a SECRET "

Guided by Barnaby down winding stone staircases into the cool, dusty grain cellar, the brave little mouse detective tracks soft whispers and muffled snuffles hidden behind towering sacks of wheat and oats. The young royal siblings have uncovered an unexpected friend in need of help-and they need Arthur's sharp wits and caring heart to save the day

The Mouse Who Became King: An Underground Escapade is a charming, beautifully illustrated story about friendship, trust, and caring for creatures big and small. Perfect for bedtime reading, early readers, and animal lovers alike.
