Little Mouse is a Beauty! Walter Harding (1917-1996), renowned secretary of the Thoreau Society for 50 years and author of The Days of Henry Thoreau Had this to say: I have read your Little Mouse with delight. What is more, both my wife and mother-in-law picked it up and were as delighted with it as I was. I liked your device of having Thoreaus more complex statements being translated into mouse talk. From a strictly factual standpoint, outside the fairy-tale framework I believe everything is historically correct. Thank you very much for letting me see your charming little tale. Best of luck with it. June 9, 1980

Do parents still read to their children at bedtime? Or do they take time during the day to snuggle together for a special story? Storytime can be a special bonding time for parent and child. The Adventures of Little Mouse is a collection of stories perfect for a parent or grandparent to share with their child, as they each are based upon lessons which Little Mouse has either learned from Daddy or Papaw Mouse. The stories are not moralistic, but characteristics such as politeness are natural parts of Little Mouse's being. In the "Mystery of Christmas," Little Mouse helps unravel the mystery of the holiday as he shares his home with Mary Mouse. And giving his most special toy to the baby is a result of discovering more of Christmas's real meaning. In the "Wild Wolf" tale, Little Mouse seeks the staff of the Wizard, in order to ward off danger and keep his family and friends safe. In the story of the "River Pirates," Little Mouse shows the need for quick thinking and wise choices in order to outsmart the evil pirates. In "The Shadow of the Hawk" Little mouse uses his bravery and the self-defense skills taught to him by his father as he accomplishes a difficult task and defends the small messenger bird from the deadly Hawk.
