“Little Mouse’s Encyclopedia might seem like a textbook of natural history, but it’s much more than just a teaching aid. For example, the illustrated double pages of life in the soil, in the trees, or below the surface of a fishpond all combine comparatively realistic drawings (yes, every little creepy crawly is really recognizable!) with artistic flair and, attimes, situational humor too.” Radek Malý, Host

A beautiful narrative non-fiction picture book that invites readers to follow Little Mouse in her charmingly painted journey through the exploration of nature
Little Mouse loves mint tea and lemon cookies and enjoys reading encyclopedias. One day, the roots of a plant pierce the ceiling of her burrow. Amazed, she realizes that she doesn’t know much about the nature around her—but it gives her an idea. She decides to write her own encyclopedia! The reader follows Little Mouse as she explores, questions, and experiments her way into the worlds of insects, trees, birds, and amphibians, both on land and in water, to discover many ecological processes and phenomena. It’s the perfect book for born explorers who want to learn about the wonders of nature.
