Mouse's Wood: A Year in Nature

Product Information

Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example. A LITTLE BIT BRAVE is a funny, reassuring picture book which shows that we're all a lot braver than we think. A lighthearted story with a subtle feminist undertone that celebrates the joy of pockets, and how they can unleash the inquisitive, adventurous spirit of all young children. Your words, like your reviews, bring books to life and give them a voice before the front cover is even turned.

This intense period of sketching began in 2019 when I was wrestling with the trauma of a sudden bereavement. By August, we’ve journeyed to Badger’s allotment, where ‘ armed with pots and spades and barrows‘ Mouse and Badger ‘ gather up/ the carrots and the marrows’. Written in a gentle rhyme that reflects the slow pace of Mouse's rambling journey, and illustrated in the inimitable style of Alice Melvin, Mouse's Wood is a heart-warming celebration of slow living in nature. Yourself and Bob are much cherished in our booky world and I personally really appreciate everything that you do.Then again, we’re seeing the changes to the forest, from the first buds on the trees, to the flight of goldfinch, the burst of April cherry blossom, or a huge ‘ stretched out – chequered sheet’ May picnic.

This joyful picture book encourages children to imagine the world as a vast library, with room on the shelves for everybody's story. We suggest it as an ideal gift choice alongside being a title to choose to linger over, snuggled up, or alone. Mouse’s Wood opens amid January’s snows and as we turn the pages we see the months unfold and follow Mouse’s seasonal activities: picnicking in May, collecting berries in September, and huddling around a camp fire in November.

Alice went on to publish a further eight titles with Tate including Counting Birds, The High Street and Grandma’s House, winning a Book Trust Best New Illustrator Award in 2011. Publication dates are subject to change (although this is an extremely uncommon occurrence overall).They would also only drop off a case of books and leave us to run it – it was so lovely to have you on hand to chat to the children and recommend them books, as well as the small (but appreciated!

An exquisitely illustrated picture book with special die-cut flaps that follows the woodland ramblings of Mouse and highlights the change in seasons. It’s a fantastic independent book seller that will actually be responsive and select appropriate books for you.

In February, Mouse is wrapped ‘ up warm/ against the winter’s chill’ so that he might stroll in the ‘morning mist’. We cannot keep turning and thereafter browsing through the pages, investigating, enquiring, checking the rhyming text and exclaiming. What’s more, alongside titles such as I Am the Seed that Grew the Treeor A First Book of Nature, we suggest this as a perfect gift, a year round source of joy and inspiration. Again, as in each double paged month, we’ve an opportunity to discover the creatures from the woodland map.
