Suloisesti kuvitettu kirja ystävyydestä. Pieni hiiri huomaa olevansa jatkuvasti niin kovin pieni asioihin, joita haluaa ystävänsä Karhun puolesta tehdä. Mutta onko pienenä oleminen niin huono asia, jos omaa suuren sydämen?

[Jessica Orona]

A sweet story about a friend going out of their way to help another friend, even though the plan didn't go how mouse wanted. I liked the overall message I gathered from he story, how some friends aren't easy to find.

This was an adorable story about a mouse who makes every effort to be a good friend. I loved it, and so did my niece.

A good moral, but nothing exciting. Just a standard story. Noah wasn’t too interested as the pictures were all very similar.

Nice story about friendship, a friend goes through a lot for another friend. To make sure they don’t go to sleep hungry.

This sweet story involves a little mouse wanting to help her big friend, Bear. The importance of friendship is the central theme. The illustrations make the story come alive and are quite beautiful.

A sweet and gentle story about friendship, a small mouse attempts to gather food provisions for his best friend bear before he hibernates. However, mouse is too small to carry the meager supplies to bear's cave and arrives with just one berry, only to discover bear already has plenty of food. Bear lets mouse know that one best friend is worth more than anything. Though predictable, softly colored illustrations make this a comforting fall read. Highly recommended.

Karhua väsyttää ja hiiri haöuaisi auttaa, ettei kaveriparka joudu menemään nälissään nukkumaan. Vähän köpöistä ja ennalta arvattavaa, mutta sen verran sydäntä, että kaksi ja puoli tähteä halauksen kera.
