A picture book based on the song The Tiny Mouse by Grammy award-winner Janis Ian
Follow the romping adventures of a tiny dapper mouse, who runs away to sea, suffers from sea sickness, narrowly escapes a grisly end at the paws of the ship’s captain – a cat – and escapes back to shore where he settles down in married bliss. The moral of the tale, it’s better to be at home than someone’s dinner at sea. Illustrations by Ingrid & Dieter Schubert are full of quirky detail and humour. Rights sold:
