Mousekin's Golden House

Rating:
Summary: classic
Review: As a librarian at Bradley Elementary in Corralitos, California, I read Mousekin's Golden House every fall. Staff and children love this book, and often ask me where they can purchase it. When I wanted to replace our library's tattered copy I was disappointed to find it out of print. Here is a beautifully illustrated and beautifully told story that never should go out of print. I am also a member of the National Storytelling Association and know it is rare to find stories that one can read to an audience of all ages, but Mousekin's Golden House is one. The whole mousekin series is wonderful

Summary: Mousekins Golden House is enchanting for adults and children
Review: Mousekin's Golden House is a delightfully imaginative story about the progression of the seasons. A jack o'lantern sitting in a field becomes a home for a tiny mouse. We watch as the mouse busies herself preparing the nest and then settling in, and then as fall turns to winter, the pumpkin begins to settle, the cutout mouth, etc., closing as the leaves fall, and finally the pumpkin is a snug haven from the falling snow. It's a book adults can love reading to children.

Summary: Mousekin's Golden House is a Must Read
Review: Mousekin's Golden House is perhaps the best Halloween book for children. It has a wonderful ending that children are continually surprised by. Although I like the entire Mousekin series, this one is the best. It can prepare school children for several different fall themes. I am amazed it is still out of print and hopeful that more people will ask for it so I won't have to borrow it all the time!
