Great gift idea

After picking this book up at the library for my 7-year-old son I could barely convince him to return it to the library when it was due. After I finally pried it out of his hands I ended up ordering this for him for Christmas. It's been read nearly every single day since then. This is a wonderful story about a small mouse named Hermelin who becomes a detective in the apartment building he lives in. It has a great story line and lots of hidden features in the images that my son excitedly points out every time he sees them. Definitely worth the read and would make a great gift for a child who has intermediate reading skills. Read more
