An Enjoyable and Well-Performed Children’s Tale
4.25 out of 5 stars
Mouse Trax, penned by M. H. Dixon, is a delightful children’s audiobook that captivates both young minds and the adults who read or listen along. This enchanting tale revolves around “Another Mouse,” who resides in a library, reveling in the world of books. The story takes an exciting turn when Another Mouse embarks on an adventure, leading to his misplacement in an unfamiliar world.
The narrative presents a compelling story with a heartwarming and relatable message for families. Just like Dr. Seuss’s classic works, Mouse Trax weaves a rhyming and engaging story that harks back to the joy of bedtime storytelling. This quality makes it an ideal choice for parents and caregivers to share with children, creating cherished moments and encouraging a love for reading (which my dad did for me years ago).
One of the standout features of Mouse Trax is the distinct characterization of its diverse cast of characters, which adds an extra layer of fun and engagement, making the audiobook an enjoyable experience for the whole family.
Another aspect that sets Mouse Trax apart is its subtle encouragement for children to cultivate a love for reading. Another Mouse’s journey, guided by the knowledge he acquired from the library, emphasizes the power of knowledge and literacy.
The narration, performed by Stu Hollowell, has an engaging and warm style. Hollowell’s performance adds an extra layer of charm, creating the sensation of a caring parent reading to their child. He was able to capture that feeling of being read to without overperforming it. The audiobook’s length and narrative depth may not make it an ideal choice for quick bedtime reads, but it is well-suited for longer sessions, like road trips or extended storytelling sessions before bedtime.
In a world often filled with darkness and complexity, Mouse Trax offers a much-needed respite, bringing a touch of warmth and wonder through its engaging story and engaging narration. While I may not have children of my own, I can appreciate the timeless appeal of this audiobook and can easily imagine sharing it with young listeners during memorable family moments. Mouse Trax is a heartwarming journey that resonates with the magic of storytelling and the joy of shared adventures.

I was thrilled with this book! A terrific book for ages 4 and up, one that multiple generations would enjoy together. Dixon has written the perfect read-out-loud book. I strongly encourage you to pull up a throw, snuggle with those you love, and share this wild fun story.
Mouse is lost and wants to go home but Mouse does not know his address. He searches and searches and tries to find someone that can help him as he travels about. Along the journey, and for Mouse it is certainly a journey, he meets all kinds. Sometimes they want to be helpful and wise, and other times they simply want to eat him. He is after all a mouse and thus food for a variety of animals and characters.
This book is full of suspense and adventure, with some major twists and turns. Those reading/listening will be spellbound and excited for more. There is a great deal of humor and a few scary moments that reflect the reality of life for us all. One of the best aspects of the story is that you will continue to think and ponder the story for quite a while, something I consider a sign of a really good book.
I do not usually do this but I think it best if I just come out and tell you that I am not at all crazy about the cover but do not let it be your judge of the story! This book is proof that under a not-so-great book cover can lie an amazing story!

Adventurous mouse story
I love the humor that is included with Mouse Trax, specifically as an owner of similar pet rats. The cover was a bit underrated for a story like this one, but it's highly recommended by me as a great family read that will promote compassion and understanding. The adventurous little animal who feels helplessly lost has to deal with overcoming multiple scary situations. I liked that the story is told with rhymes as it added a cutesy feel to the story, as well as making it an even more fitting and enjoyable read for the younger age groups. This is a great read for a child to enjoy on their own, or as a whole family to read together. This one has a classic feel to it that I think many generations can enjoy.

I absolutely loved Mouse Trax! This captivating and interesting piece of work has so much suspense with a big twist at the end that my family and I couldn’t put it down! It is also filled with drama, different scenarios, action, funny moments, adorable animals and so much bravery.
The talented author, M. H. Dixon, uses nice vocabulary that will catch any children’s attention.
As soon as I opened it, I felt in love with the characters, especially with the innocent mouse, the adventures he lived are sublime!
I chose a four-star rating for this book since despite the fact that it is very exciting page after page, I don’t think it is a story for kids but I certainly recommend it for anyone who's 11 years old and more. All in all, this is a really good masterpiece!

Perfect for family time
“Mouse Trax” is an attractive book written by M. H. Dixon. The reader is perfect for kids and parents to share a great family time together while learning and practising reading.
The tale is fun and it is perfect for introducing kids into the literary world. It contains interesting and funny characters, and rhymes that are attractive to both the eyes and the ears.
If I had to add something, it would be pictures to surround the text and to make the book even more attractive and convincing for the little ones. It is just for this lack of images or drawings that I give this story four stars. Nonetheless, I encourage families to get this reader and to share a nice moment while reading it.

"Mouse Track" by M. H. Dixon is a really good book for kids and also pre-teens. I like how the author managed to add little details through the story and the narration that captivated the reader more. My nephew loved the story.
I also would like to mention the story behind that story. For me, it is important for kid's books in general to leave them thinking about it, and to have a good moral to reflect on that and exchange opinions.
To conclude I think this is a great story to enjoy and debate at the end about what the reader thought of all the situations the main character goes through.

Mouse Trax by author Dixon is an adventure and funny fiction tale centered around a mouse. This mouse gets lost after chasing a butterfly and finding his way back home is a task with ordeals and where this little creature meets others who are strangers at first.
I must admit author Dixon has a way with words and he is talented beyond measure since he has been able to intertwine dialogues with amazingly crafted rhymes, what makes this tale sparkle and stand out from children’s books. I value the positive point of view sustained throughout the story.
This book is certainly a treat for kids and pre-adolescents and I believe every parent should get one sample for them!

To be honest, the cover design of this book did not catch my attention at first. The chosen images did not invite me to start reading it, but I decided to give it a chance when I read the description. And moreover, as far as I read the chapters, “Mouse Trax” captivated me.
The adventures of this little animal through different adversities, as reflections of real life, invites us to think and encourage us to face uncertainty and difficulties with bravery and faith. Author M. H. Dixon perfectly manages these witty teachings with family-styled humor. Moreover, the rhythmical verses make the reading easy and funny. All in all, this is a rich and valuable book to share with children.

"MOUSE TRAX" is an amazing book written by M.H. DIXON. This story that has no waste is for adults as well as children. This is the story of a little mouse that, while chasing a butterfly, gets lost, and there begins a great adventure. The mouse has to overcome many obstacles, but always with the help of a partner.
I really liked how the author was able to create a great story for different readers; the only criticism I could make is that it lacks illustrations. I think that being a good book for children, it lacks images. The images help children to get to know the characters involved in the story and identify them quickly.

Mouse Trax as the title depicts revolves around the funny journey of a rat.
M. H. Dixon crafted this pleasant read during the pandemic period. It is scripted so as to make it a favorite read for children, youngsters, and elder people at the same time. Sentences being converted to verses, full-fledged comics, etc can be traced as its attractions. A story that develops all along with a rat is indeed a small story that has in-depth meaning and messages to give. It is quite funny at the same time adventurous too which keeps the readers alive throughout their read. I highly recommend reading this book to those readers who love to have a funny and mesmerizing read.

Mouse Trax is a book made for the family. It is that kind of story to read to your children. It contains an easy level of writing to ensure kids 4 and up can understand and enjoy, and also a compelling story filled with a variety of characters, all different from each other, that give meaning and resemblance to the world we live in and the society we know.
I bought it specially to read to my nephews, although it is not one of those books made for reading before bedtime (short and sweet), it's more extensive and requires time, a good narrator, and a lot of imagination. I definitely recommend this book for kids because of its values.

“Mouse Trax” is a fantastic story about a small animal and all his adventures and misfortunes when he gets lost.
What I really liked about this piece is that it highlights the importance of friendship, strength, courage and trust; which are great values.
I really enjoyed the stylish and narrative of the author; he captures the attention of every person who sets their eyes on this masterpiece.
Unfortunately, I dare to say that in my humble opinion, the cover is a bit fearsome and inappropriate to little readers. This is the only reason I give this book 4 stars.
Definitively, this is a book to check out and a beautiful gift!

A simple mouse. Mouse Trax written by MX Dixon is a fun and exciting book about a sweet mouse. This mouse shares an adventure. He meets new friends on the way. And at times it is met with danger. This book is an easy read for kids and for adults. Books that rhyme too are fun to read as well! Growing up there were few books that had a rhyme scheme, which to this day I remember. Reading this book brought back memories of childhood. I think this book is great and would recommend it for adults and children alike!!

A funny tale about a mouse who after following a butterfly, gets lost and on his search for home meets a whole array of interesting new creatures and worlds.
MY 9-year-old daughter loved the rhymes and the story. She was laughing throughout the book and some of the characters that mouse encountered were a great and inventive addition that brought this tale to life in interesting ways. She said he really liked the louse and its transformation through the book.
