Synopsis

It's winter, and Mouse is snuggled under the covers in her tiny, cozy home. Then -- CRACK! -- a fallen tree branch ruins her house, and Mouse must find another place to live. With courage, determination, and a lot of resourcefulness, Mouse -- with help from a cheery bearded man in a red suit -- finds not only another house but also a place she can truly call home.

Katy Bratun's warm text and bright illustrations are sure to delight readers young and old.

About this title

About the Author:

Katy Bratun studied illustration at the Art Institute of Boston and has illustrated twenty books for children. She once drew a gorilla in a gondola at a school assembly, which later posed as a character for this book. Ms. Bratun lives in Salem, Massachusetts, with her husband, Steve, and her son, Eric.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 1-When her home is destroyed by a falling branch, Mouse moves into a human house and discovers a gingerbread house that's just her size. Later that night, Santa arrives with a dollhouse, which becomes Mouse's permanent residence. The characters have stiff-looking grins showing pasty teeth, and the pedestrian text is filled with cliches.-S. P.
