Fun to read and act out with kids. Especially with siblings who often interrupt to tell stories about brothers and sisters who wake them in the middle of the night.
A story about a little mouse who desperately wants to sleep in Big Mouse's bed, but Big Mouse does not want to share his bed.
«Um conselho para os pais que são acordados pelos filhos a meio da noite: tenham sempre este livro na mesa de cabeceira! Irão de certeza reconhecer-se no Ratão que se levanta constantemente da cama para lidar com o uivar do vento, o esvoaçar dos ramos das árvores, o piar do mocho, a torneira a pingar... e até com o seu ressonar.Não irá apenas fazê-lo rir a si, como também ajudará a adormecer os pequeninos. É uma história linda e reconfortante, maravilhosamente contada, sempre com a mensagem de que "ouvir barulhos estranhos" e "sentir-se sozinho" são coisas bem diferentes - é nessas alturas que o papá estará sempre lá para ajudar.
