‘Delightful … dreamy … quietly enchanted’ Critic’s Choice, - Daily Telegraph

A beautiful autumn adventure through the wild, award winning Mouse series

Join Mouse on another enchanting journey into the natural world as he leaves behind the bustle of a busy railway station and travels towards a remote and majestic mountain peak. With its distinctive autumn setting, this beautifully illustrated children’s nature book is a gentle invitation to slow down, explore and discover the wildlife and habitats found along the way.

Alice Melvin has spent considerable time researching and drawing from nature to create an authentic journey for Mouse. Her intricate illustrations are filled with wildlife, friendly woodland creatures and beautiful mountain scenery, with interactive flaps and gatefolds encouraging children to look closely and discover details hidden within each scene.

There is also a thoughtful message about biodiversity woven into the illustrations. As Mouse travels higher into the mountains, readers can see the effects of overgrazing, while mountain hares are shown planting saplings to help restore mountain forests.

A fascinating nature guide at the end of the book introduces children to the different habitats and wildlife Mouse encounters on his journey, making this more than just a story. It is an engaging way for young readers to learn about nature, wildlife and the importance of protecting the places and creatures around us.

With its beautiful artwork, interactive elements and gentle introduction to biodiversity, this is a wonderful choice for anyone looking for children’s nature books, wildlife books for children and nature themed books for kids. It also makes a lovely nature gift for children and a thoughtful present for young nature lovers who enjoy exploring the outdoors through books.
