Mice Skating
What's Mice Skating About
For most field mice, winter means burrowing down and snuggling in. But not for Lucy! She loves snow crunching under her paws and wearing a fluffy wool hat. But most of all, Lucy loves to skate. The other mice just don’t understand. Can Lucy find a way to make her friends come out and “mice skate” too? A funny, punny, warmhearted love song to winter—and to one brave, bold mouse.
What Kind of Book is Mice Skating
Reviews
The story and illustrations are darling, though the text felt a little cheesy at times (no pun intended . . . there are quite a few cheese puns in the book!). Lucy loves winter and finally convinces her friends to love it by making hats and "mice skates" for them.
With subtle punny cheese comments, adorably illustrated mice (even in the opinion of someone who can't stand rodents!) and lots of creative problem solving, this book is a winner that's especially cute for winter but great for any season.
