Mousekin's Golden House is a Must Read

Mousekin's Golden House is perhaps the best Halloween book for children. It has a wonderful ending that children are continually surprised by. Although I like the entire Mousekin series, this one is the best. It can prepare school children for several different fall themes. I am amazed it is still out of print and hopeful that more people will ask for it so I won't have to borrow it all the time!

As a librarian at Bradley Elementary in Corralitos, California, I read Mousekin's Golden House every fall. Staff and children love this book, and often ask me where they can purchase it. When I wanted to replace our library's tattered copy I was disappointed to find it out of print. Here is a beautifully illustrated and beautifully told story that never should go out of print. I am also a member of the National Storytelling Association and know it is rare to find stories that one can read to an audience of all ages, but Mousekin's Golden House is one. The whole mousekin series is wonderful

Bring Mousekin back!

Mousekin's Golden House is a wonderful story to read to children. It is a heart-warming tale about a mouse finding refuge in a jack-o-latern. It was one of my favorites as a child. It would be great to be able to have it in print again.

My six-year-old loves this book!

We (my six-year-old and I) just discovered the Edna Miller Mousekin books through my daughter's school library. She loves them so much she checks them out week after week. If there's any way to get these titles re-published I'd like to help!

This book is my favorite book to read in the fall season.

I have been teaching for nineteen years and Mousekin's Golden House is one of my most favorite books to read aloud to my students. Although simple in its message the text lends itself to discussion of a variety of topics. Predators, Changes in season,feeling safe in our environment. I have borrowed this book from our school library every year. I hope someday to obtain a copy for my own library.
