Watch Out!

By Jan Fearnley

Book Overview

A little one's unbridled enthusiasm is a mother's special challenge in this tender, amusing story that offers a sweet final twist. Wilf is a little mouse who is bursting with energy and full of fun. He loves to run and skip and climb and jump around. He's so busy, in fact, that he just doesn't have time to listen to his mother's pleas to "Watch out, Wilf!" until it's too late and - crash bang wallop! Uh-oh. What has Wilf done now? With affection and humor, Jan Fearnley paints an endearing portrait of an effusive, disaster-prone child and an ever-patient mom.

Charming tale of an active little mouse who just can't listen

Parents and young ones will appreciate "Watch Out!". Wilf is an active little mouse that is constantly getting into trouble, not because he is naughty, but is just unable to listen [doesn't that sound familiar?]. Too eager to enjoy himself to the full, and explore as many places as he can, Wilf gets messy, falls down, and stumbles into sticky situations. The illustrations by author-illustrator Jan Fearnley are in full-color and just beautiful. Young children will find this story of a precocious and active little mouse engaging, and something they will be able to relate to. Recommended for ages 4-8.
