My kid loves the series of the library mouse and I like very much reading it to him at bedtime. It is a pleasant story, easy to follow and good to chat about after reading.

Library mouse is as enterprising - and loveable - as ever. Art is crisp, colors sharp. During renovations, Mouse explores the lodgings of the world, but there is no place like home when home is a wonderful, renovated library.
