Synopsis
Young children will identify with the little mouse who documents his fears in the pages of this book - from loud noises and the dark to being sucked down the plughole. Original and innovative, with flaps, die-cuts and even a hilarious fold-out map, this is another extraordinary picture book from the creator of "Wolves", winner of the 2005 Kate Greenaway Medal and Nestle Award Bronze Medal.

The reason I choose to write abot this book is because I have read it in school with my library teacher I like it because Emily Gravett is my best book auther.

Amusing and clever.
I bought this book for my grandson's 5th birthday, however his 6 year old sister; a confident reader, took a liking to it straight away, reading it cover to cover and laughing out loud. She also read it to any one who came to the house pointing out the amusing illustrations and 'extras' in case they didn't get the joke.
A straight forward story for the very young it is the added bits, maps, news cuttings, etc, that will keep older children amused, as they did me.
I have bought a previous book by this author which was enjoyable, but this one had more to it. I would definately recommend it.
