Mousekin's Golden House

Rating 5 stars partly for the nostalgia factor, since I know I loved this book as a kid. (I still do. Enough that I sought out a used copy of it for my keeper shelf since it's now out of print.)

Adorable picture book about a mouse who makes his home inside a discarded jack-o-lantern. The art is a wonderful complement to the story here.

A very cute book with decent illustrations (the images are more in line with what an adult would appreciate, not a child - there's actually a psychology behind the different styles of children's illustrations, did you know that?). I still love this book, though.

The book runs a little long for a read aloud.
A mouse trying to find a home. It finds a discarded pumpkin. All the cutouts are really large but as the pumpkin ages it collapses and the openings are closed. Nice and snuggly
