This is a fabulous book filled with hilarious stories of different mice. My mom used to read these out loud all the time, and the stories are still as fresh in my mind as ever.
A cute book about a Papa mouse telling his littles bedtime stories. Perfect for bedtime reading of our own lol! My kiddos enjoy this one.
In this book, mouse father tells seven funny stories to his children.
We can enjoy these stories. They're almost funyn stories, but sometimese included heartwarming stories. I think you can also enjoy beautiful and cute pictures.

A wonderful collection of stories involving mice that are told with Lobel's distinct level of humor. Perfect short stories for the little one in every home.
Genre: Fantasy, early chapter book
Age: primary
Media: watercolor and ink
Review/ Critique: The father mouse tells his children 7 bedtime stories. This is a silly fable with personified mice and no moral.

Not quite as good as Mouse Soup, which I've loved forever. My favorites were The Mouse and the Winds, and The Old Mouse.
Z thought it was sweet and funny. Probably because he was able to read most of it himself. Which is a bigger deal for his early reader self these days.
