When a frightened little mouse seeks shelter from a storm, a wonderful adventure begins! The Mouse in the House is a tale of a small creature seeking to hide from the thunder and the rain. Once inside the house, the curious little guy explores every room, finding things he never knew existed. Before long, the mouse realizes he has stumbled upon something so wonderful. Come inside with the mouse and see just how wonderful the house can be!

A mouse enters the house. And there is utter chaos. Here is an action-packed adventure for little ones.

“Once upon a time there was a little mouse house. It was like a doll’s house, but not for dolls, for mice.” Not proper mice, but a flannel He-Mouse and She-Mouse with beady eyes and bristle whiskers who stand quite still, propped on their hind legs in the sitting room. Mary knows real mice run and scamper, and disappointed with her new gift, she puts the mouse house away in her room. Meanwhile, down in the basement, a real mouse named Bonnie has been jostled out of her woefully inadequate flowerpot home by her older brothers and sisters. Overlooked by her harried parents and desperate for shelter, Bonnie ventures upstairs and finds the mouse house. And before too long what was a miniature make-believe house becomes a marvelously messy home for proper mice who know how to play, much to everyone’s delight.

A hungry mouse has a exciting night-time adventure as he searches for food in the house.

Mouse comes bearing a suitcase. The mother yells, "EEK!" The father yells, "EEK!" The grandma yells, "EEK!" But the kids ask the mouse to stay! A perfect level 1 story with hilarious visuals to support the text for the beginning reader.

Welcome to the painstakingly crafted teeny, tiny world of Mouse. Mouse and Musetta are the sweetest pair of rodents you’ll ever lay eyes on. This is the story of how they met and came to live in a fabulously turned-out loaf of bread. Each lovingly crafted scene is packed with incredible details—from the salt shaker end table to the walnut shell cabinets (with hinges!) to the postage stamp art. Really, how could Musetta resist popping in for a nibble of the cheese that lay on the table, that stood in the house…that Mouse built?
