A new mouse moves into the local bookshop and shows all the other little mice the wonders to be discovered within the pages of a book.

This is a cute little picture book about a community of mice and the businesses that they inhabit. There are some lessons about the magic of books and the possibilities therein, but there isn’t much by way of a meaningful classroom content connection.
