Morris Mouse and Friends

One of my son's books. It's a cute hide and seek sort of book where Morris Mouse tries to find a perfect nest and meets a bunch of animals on the way.

A GREAT SERIES!

What a lovely book! My daughter, 2, loves to "read" and lift the flaps. It's a treat for the reader. Unusual Flora & Fauna are beautifully illustrated. Great for the Biologist as well as 2 year's olds.

Simple story with beautiful illustrations and great pop-ups.

Morris the Mouse is looking for a new home, but each place he looks is already inhabited. He ends up happy at his old nest. This is a simple story which can be enjoyed by very young children. The illustrations are very well done - the colors are clear and bright, with small details such as butterflies or moths included on each page. What really makes this book special, though, are the pop-ups. Each one is activated by opening a simple flap, but different motions occur which complement the illustration: a wren flaps its wing, a squirrel flicks its tail, a dormouse peeks out of a bush. The flaps themselves are well designed for little hands, as there are no pull tabs. The last page of the book is a full 2-page pop-up, which is activated simply by turning the page, and which moves nicely as the pages are flexed slightly. My 21-month-old likes this book so much that I'm considering buying another one in the series.
