Miss Mouse's Day

Amazon.com Review Miss Mouse has had quite a day. She's been dressed and fed, muddied and washed, tossed and lost, and above all, loved. Any toddler who depends on a beloved stuffed animal will relate to this fast-paced tale of a wild little girl and the day she spends with her best friend, the lovely, ever-patient Miss Mouse. Whether she's being smeared with paint, packed in sand, or dragged through the mud, the smile never leaves this stuffed animal's goofy, endearing face. When she's accidentally left behind in the yard as night falls, there's one little girl who won't rest until her companion is found, cleaned, and cuddled in bed again. Jan Ormerod's bright, action-packed drawings radiate with the wild joy children experience when they first begin to master the physical world. The brief, expressive text is perfect for prereaders who can easily match the action with the comic-strip-style illustrations. Together they make this boisterous story of a girl and her cherished stuffed animal a spirited, humorous read. (Baby to age 3)
