Muffin Mouse's new house by Lawrence Di Fiori
An adorable childhood favorite about a mouse who loves to drink tea and read on rainy days, which honestly explains a lot about the type of person I turned out to be. The depiction of friendship--the genuine acceptance of each other and unconditional help offered--warms my heart. The illustrations are wonderful.
Frankie Frog invites Muffin Mouse to come out and play, but it’s beginning to rain and the wind is blowing, so the little mouse stays inside her house, drinking strawberry tea and reading her favorite book. Suddenly the roof begins to leak and a strong wind makes the house shake. Then it blows Muffin’s house down.
Now Muffin needs a new home; Frankie and Muffin go to see Pack Rat Pete, hoping he will have something just right for the little mouse’s new home. Pete is anxious to help Muffin find a home. There’s a milk carton, but it’s too small. A big wooden box is too plain and a yellow rubber boot is too wobbly. Pete offers Muffin a blue bottle, but everyone could see inside. Is there no home for Muffin Mouse?
Suddenly Frankie Frog has an idea. He takes Muffin to the weeds near his house. What is Frankie’s idea? Will it help Muffin Mouse find a new home?
This colorfully-illustrated Golden Super Shape book is one of three Little Golden Books about Muffin Mouse; this one is in the shape of Muffin’s new house. Part of the Look-Look series, this adult-directed story has an early primary grade level, first and second grades.
Young readers will enjoy the story of Muffin’s search for a new house while parents will appreciate the positive problem-solving as well as the depiction of friendship exhibited between the animals and the way in which they happily help each other without hesitation.
Highly recommended.… (more)

The main character runs into some problems caused by his height, but his quick thinking helps him to overcome his obstacle. This book is a great read to show students that they can do anything they put their minds too.
This book always made me want to live in an old broken teapot.
