It all starts with a mouse dreaming of a great big happy house and along comes a series of animals who are looking for shelter or friendship. They work together to build a house and more and more animals join as they work. Finally they have a house big and happy enough for all of them.
I really liked the dreamy soft feel of the illustrations and the textured cover to the book. The book also includes different sized pages, adding visual pleasure to the reading experience. The story is simple and cozy and probably not high interest for young readers, but enjoyable none the less.
