A House For A Mouse

Summary


A House For A Mouse is a short children's story about a little mouse on a search for the perfect place to sleep. Along the way, Mouse accepts kind offers from Puppy, Parrot, and Fish — but each night brings dreams that are bouncy, noisy, or cold and wet. Mouse needs somewhere warm and dry, and the answer turns out to be closer than expected. A gentle, quietly funny story about belonging and the comfort of finding just the right spot.
