Miss Mouse's Day

by Jan Ormerod

Hi! I'm Miss Mouse! My day with my best friend is soooo exciting! We draw with crayons and play with blocks, and after we dress up in fancy clothes, she paints beautiful pictures of me. Outside we run and jump and laugh and play in the mud. Everything we do is fun! In this warm and brightly illustrated story from Jane Ormerod, Miss Mouse -- a stuffed doll -- invites you to spend a magical day with her and her toddler friend.

[Janet · Rating 4 out of 5]

A child's day told through the eyes of her stuffed mouse. In paneled illustrations we are shown the activities of a preschooler's day, a preschooler who really knows how to play from art activities, to being outdoors, and also building with mud and the cleanup afterward. Time for bed and of course a story. This really capatures a playful preschooler.

In this Ormerod's illustrations are less sentimental, more playful, than others that I've enjoyed. But they're very fitting as this little girl is wondrously playful herself. And now I want a Miss Mouse doll!
