Nice for Mice

by Jill Barklem

This board book is just right for toddlers and preschoolers. The gentle rhyming text is perfect for the younger age group. Nice for Mice is all about the things that mice like best (eating mushroom pie and making toast -- very nice!). This book is illustrated throughout with Jill Barklem's wonderfully observed paintings from her Brambly Hedge books.
