What a sweet tiny treasure. Little hands can snuggle it, and little people can 'read' it themselves. Unfortunate, though, that bats are equated with monsters.
Creepy castle was one of my favorite books in the elementary school library. It's a wordless tale about a pair of mice who outsmart a dastardly villain. The illustrations totally hold up for me--just lovely.
Love this wordless picture book! In a fairy-tale setting a brave mouse and fair lady who seems to be a princess venture out for a walk. As the pair travel along they find a seemingly abandoned castle and decide to explore. They are unaware of the villainous creatures that have been lurking behind them. This book illustrates a beautiful watercolor picture and has foldaway pages, making this book a trickier suspenseful story. Although this book was a small book, I loved it. This is a book that you can definitely create more twists and turns.
