very good book about going on adventure to china, so thinks the little mouse. Students would love this book because it keeps you on your toes, very engaging into if the mouse will ever make it to china (

This is another good book that you could use for introducing countries around the world since he is looking for china. Also, this book can be used to introduce the 5 senses because one place is too loud, one place is too bright, and one place smells awful. I think the children will like this book because the pictures in the story help animate what China looks like. (

Great book to teach about cultures, adventure and homographs. Students would love it because it is very engaging and adventurous. (

This is the story of a mouse who is searching for a nest of his own. His mom has told him that China is a very nice place to live and he wants to go to China. A good book to teach sequencing of a plot. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0064435083, Paperback)

When the time comes for Livingstone Mouse to find a nest of his own, he wants it to be in the best place. I have heard that China is very nice," his mom says. But where is China? Could it be in a noisy cupboard? A smelly old shoe? A picnic basket? Can a small mouse find China all by himself? Livingstone isn't sure, but he is determined to find out.

Pamela Duncan Edwards' endearing story of a mouse with a mission is beautifully brought to life by Henry Cole's lively illustrations. Livingstone is a hero who will captivate and delight his audience.
