Thoughts: What a sweet story! I love the pacing of the story and how the house evolves one piece at a time. The illustrations are great. I love the soft colors and the use of painted and cut paper collage. Hall's mice remind of Leo Lionni's mice and that, of course, is a good thing. I wouldn't mind trying my hand at making my own mouse. House Mouse will be a great addition to storytime in a lot of themes which is always helpful. Find an activity guide from the publisher here.
