Mouse on the River
by Alice Melvin
This is the sequel to the award-winning Mouse’s Wood, which made our Best Books for Kids 2022 list. This picture book also has quite a Wind in the Willows vibe with a nostalgic take on the English countryside. The rhyming text describes Mouse’s journey down the river, past homes and village stores with lots to look at and talk about with young kids. There are flaps to lift, a page depicting everything that Mouse packed for the trip, and keen observation of nature.
Ages 3-6
