Customer Reviews

Best Kid's Book I've seen in a long time

My seven year old son and I treasure this book, which shows children that brains can overcome brawn. We love the illustrations and the dialog between the villians. We are hoping, praying and pleading that Caroline Castle writes many more books about this marvelous mouse inventer who answers his enemies' taunts in rhymes, and does a mean back flip.

My Favorite Book

Herbert Binns is one of my favorite books of all time. I love the story of the little mouse that believed in himself. the illustrations in this are fantasstic. I love how the author and illustrator painted the charactor, especial the villans. This is one of my favorite books of all time.

Fantastic Book

Herbert Binns is one of my favorite books of all time. I love everything about this book. the illustrations are great, and the story is fantastic. This book has some of the best illutrations of all time. I love the way the illustrator draws all of the characters. i really like the way the villans are illustrated. McTabbity is one of the most interesting characters of all time. The story is also really good. I love how the author tells the story of a little mouse that believes in him self. the inventions are also really cool. Overall this is one of teh best books ever and I think that it is a classic. I highly recomend this book.

Fabulous artwork!

This is a very richly illustrated book. Which I believe is done in watercolor, all in deep lush earth tones. With a careful eye to detail...The story is mildly interesting albeit brief, my only complaint with the whole book is that the word "stupid" is used by one animal character to refer to another animal character.I still highly recommend this book to families interested in seeing some great imaginative artwork along with their story!
