Daisy and Charlie are little mice visiting their Grandpa, who is very kind and wise. He has a lot of fairy tales to tell. Daisy and Charlie hear stories about beautiful princesses with long whiskers, brave princes, kingdoms and countries far far away, royal palaces, magic objects, love, friendship, and escaping cats and owls. There are even dragons in Grandpa’s fairy tales. Daisy and Charlie keep their tiny mouse ears straightened, and listen carefully. Make yourself comfortable, have some cheese with big holes, and listen to Grandpa’s fairy tales together with Daisy and Charlie.
My name is Zuzana. I have always loved drawing and painting. For me, one of the great sources of inspiration is animals. I have a soft spot for dogs, mice, and anteaters. And lemurs. And sloths. And actually all the animals (especially the fluffy ones, but lizards and crocodiles are also pretty awesome). I like writing stories about animals and illustrating them, mostly using watercolors.
I enjoy going for walks with my friend – Dusty the dachshund. You can see us in the photo. I like reading, watching documentaries about animals, and drinking coffee. I am based in the Czech Republic, in the city of Prague.
I think that these stories would have made an awesome series of picturebooks. The few illustrations are nice but I can see wonderful colored illustrations that complement the prose. Still nice little collection
This was a cute set of stories for the little ones. I enjoyed them but some children may be scared by them. Having said that, others will love them. You just have to know your child. ********I won this book as a Goodreads Giveaway.
Quite a few mouse princesses in these stories as well as a dragon, a mermouse and some cats. Several cure tales for a you reader. Good bedtime stories.
Great stories. I think it may be geared toward kids over the age of five. My son enjoyed the stories, but had trouble staying focused due to the lack of pictures.
