‘Delightful … dreamy … quietly enchanted’ Critic’s Choice, Daily Telegraph
Alice Melvin's award-winning Mouse is back for another mindful adventure in nature.
Join Mouse on a new adventure as he leaves the urban bustle of a busy railway station and makes his way to a remote and majestic mountain peak. This journey has a distinctively autumnal feel to set it apart from Mouse's other adventures. The book also features a subtle message in the illustrations about biodiversity, showing the effects of over-grazing and even featuring mountain hares planting saplings to restore mountain forests.
Alice Melvin has spent a lot of time researching and drawing from nature to develop an authentic journey for Mouse, and her charming illustrations create an immersive world full of wildlife, friendly woodland creatures and stunning scenery. Interactive flaps and gatefolds throughout draw the reader's attention to details hidden among the illustrations. The book also features a nature guide with fascinating facts about the different habitats and wildlife that Mouse finds on his trip up the mountain.
'Delightful … [Melvin’s] dreamy illustrations conjure a world reminiscent of EH Shepard or Beatrix Potter … [the] pictures are complemented by the slow, singsong cadence of the text … The great pleasure of these books is that they reward the reader who lingers. Melvin’s illustrations are packed with things to spot … The use of paper flaps adds another layer of discovery, revealing hidden interiors and unexpected corners of the landscape. The result is a world that feels both recognisably British but also quietly enchanted' - Critic's Choice, Daily Telegraph
