Explore the winding paths and inviting homes of Mouse’s world in this charming concertina-style sticker book by author-illustrator Alice Melvin. With more than 300 reusable stickers to choose from and twelve pages to decorate, children can invent their own stories and bring Mouse’s wood to life. They can fill the trees with birds and the woodland floor with flowers, add cozy touches to each living space, and decide where Mouse and his friends go.
The double-sided concertina book unfolds into a panoramic scene spanning all four seasons, with each panel featuring a cut-out window linking a house’s interior on the front to its exterior on the reverse. The doll’s house-style view encourages children to spend hours decorating each home with tiny paintings, mugs, armchairs, and more. Whether Mouse is reading in bed, building a “snowmouse” outside, or enjoying a picnic—the story is theirs to create!
Included in the booklet is a nature guide with plants and animals to find in the sticker book or outside, plus interesting facts about Mouse’s woodland friends.
For ages 3+
