Summary
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。

This beautiful book invites you to spend a year in the woods with Mouse。 Each page has short lines of rhyming text about one month illustrated with lush， detail rich illustrations and a flip the flap peek inside of a home in Mouse's wood。 The peeks inside the cozy houses are one of my favorite parts。 Each feels like a glimpse inside an adorable dollhouse of sorts。 Mouse's year is busy and also reflects how the natural world transforms from month to month。 It is a vibrant story that celebrates ho This beautiful book invites you to spend a year in the woods with Mouse。 Each page has short lines of rhyming text about one month illustrated with lush， detail rich illustrations and a flip the flap peek inside of a home in Mouse's wood。 The peeks inside the cozy houses are one of my favorite parts。 Each feels like a glimpse inside an adorable dollhouse of sorts。 Mouse's year is busy and also reflects how the natural world transforms from month to month。 It is a vibrant story that celebrates how a northern wood changes over the course of a year。 。。。more

Cozy is the overwhelming feeling we both got reading Mouse's Wood。 Narrating each month of the year in verse， a forest-dwelling mouse leads readers through the changing seasons。 With a peek-through first page and lift-the-flap abodes on the two-page spreads， this lovely picture book invites readers to examine the detailed homes of each woodland creature。 T looked ahead before we sat down to read together， and told me in advance of several of the houses， "This is a cozy one。" Books， blankets， str Cozy is the overwhelming feeling we both got reading Mouse's Wood。 Narrating each month of the year in verse， a forest-dwelling mouse leads readers through the changing seasons。 With a peek-through first page and lift-the-flap abodes on the two-page spreads， this lovely picture book invites readers to examine the detailed homes of each woodland creature。 T looked ahead before we sat down to read together， and told me in advance of several of the houses， "This is a cozy one。" Books， blankets， string lights， warm colors - the tiny homes of the mouse， hedgehog， red squirrel， and others warm the heart。T and I traded off reading the four-line poems。 He enjoyed reading the months that mean something to him， like June （for which our cat is named）。 Back matter includes highlights for each month - bluebells in May， for example - and introductions to each animal that appears in the book。 If you or your kiddo love the forest， cute animals， cozy abodes， or the changing seasons， Mouse's Wood should be up your alley。When I said to T after reading that I enjoyed reading this because it was so cozy and made me just want to snuggle up under a blanket with a book with him， he told me that he felt exactly the same way 。。。more
