Mouse’s Wood: A Year in Nature by Alice Melvin (Lift-the-Flap Hardcover)

Mouse’s Wood: A Year in Nature by Alice Melvin

Written in a gentle rhyme that reflects the slow pace of Mouse’s rambling journey, and illustrated in the inimitable style of Alice Melvin, Mouse’s Wood is a heart-warming celebration of slow living in nature.

The story follows Mouse, who first ventures out in wintry January to visit his friend Squirrel. As Mouse continues along the woodland path, his journey maps out the changing seasons from January through December—picnicking among bluebells with Mole, gathering berries with Dormouse, and taking refuge in Fox’s cozy caravan as winter draws in.
