LITTLE MOUSE FINDS A GREAT NEW HOME - IN A GINGERBREAD HOUSE!
5 Stars
LITTLE MOUSE FINDS A GREAT NEW HOME - IN A GINGERBREAD HOUSE!
We originally checked this book out from the library. My daughter loved it so much, we added it to our Christmas book collection this year!This is a cute story about a little mouse who loses her home in a storm. She ends up sneaking into the house of a nearby family, and setting up her new home in their gingerbread house. She sews and creates her own furniture and makes herself cozy. On Christmas night, she talks to Santa when he's there delivering gifts. He leaves her a new more permanent home to live in.This is a simple, cute story. My 3 year old enjoys it, but it's long enough early grade school kids would also enjoy it. The illustrations are really cute and really well done. It's one of our favorite Christmas books to read together...out of zillions!

My only complaint is that this is the only book by Kate Bratun, Charming illustrations with such whimsical detailed mouse house. And the story is told so well. A beloved book for our 2 - 6 year olds.

I highly recommend this book. We've read this at Christmastime for years. This year, I'm using it in a read along for young children. The gingerbread mouse's house is damaged, so she needs to move. She happens upon a lovely home. In a way reminiscent of "The Little" or "The Borrowers", she decorates it. She then gets a little help from a very sweet girl and a kind soul in a red suit. All the illustrations are as beautiful as the cover. It ends with an adorable recipe for gingerbread. Love this book.

Cute story with a sweet little illustrations. I thought the message was nice but not quite as "deep" as I expected from other reviews but it is a nice holiday book for children 2-6 years old. Bonus, it has a great recipe at end that we made the next day after reading and the Gingerbread cookies were delicious!

Love this book. I ordered it just because it had something to do with gingerbread. (I am a gingerbread fanatic when it comes to Christmas decorations). I just got it thinking it would look cute on my shelf will all the other gingerbread things I have, but it's such a cute story too. I really like this book, and it's so much more than what I thought it might be. Very happy with purchase.
