Reviews
This delightful story with beautiful crayon and water colour illustrations will amuse and encourage your children’s understanding of what true friendship looks like.

This sweet book is a good reminder for young readers that while they may not get everything they wish for; they have other things (or skills) of value. The Pet Mouse is a lovely choice for children aged 3-5 years.
