Books with title Mouse

Mouse wouldn’t be your first choice to stop the apocalypse. He wouldn’t even be his own. “Primarily non-verbal,” his file says, “anxiety and communication difficulty, nevertheless considerably bright.” The world’s too loud for Mouse, all his dials are set to eleven, and just talking—let alone making friends— presents a very real challenge. But for reasons he can’t imagine, a purple-haired punk named Bliss has Decided They’re Friends, and things—for once—are looking up. Then, he meets a ghost and learns some magic, while an ancient cabal of alchemists and sorcerers alternately try to kidnap and enlist him— Because, you see, he’s their last hope for saving the world, and the proverbial clock is ticking. Mouse wouldn’t be your first choice to stop the apocalypse. But then, sometimes life makes these choices for you.

Moo Moo Mouse lives in a tiny mouse house near the fairyland forest. Moo Moo loves to watch the little fairies play in the early morning before the sun comes up. One morning, Moo Moo gets there to find the fairies are already gone. Just as she turns to go home, she hears a tiny little cry for help. Looking around, Moo Moo spots a little fairy on the ground, her tiny wing bent. Moo Moo Mouse knows she has to help her new friend fly so that the little fairy can sparkle and go home before the sun takes her fairy wings from her forever.

Toddlers will love this fun-to-shake board book. It's sturdily constructed, with an extra-thick layered cover that gives Mouse's face a 3D effect. When kids give the book a shake they're answered with a noisy rattle that will make them smile. The friendly front-cover Mouse has an amusing little story to tell in the book's cheerfully illustrated pages. This is one of four titles that Barron's offers in the Rock & Rattle series: Bunny, Kitty, Mouse, and Puppy.

Police officers storm your house and take your family away. You are completely alone. What do you do? Laurel Smith lives in a world where the police have turned bad. Known as CYCLOPS, they spy on the public and force innocent people to commit crimes. When Laurel’s family is snatched, she is rescued and smuggled onto the Isle of Wight by a network of anti-CYCLOPS rebels. Laurel discovers that the island is harbouring a great secret, and soon finds herself embroiled in a plot to overthrow CYCLOPS. Her once quiet life becomes a web of subterfuge and sabotage, cross and double-cross, where lies are normal and nothing is what it seems to be. Can the rebels stay one step ahead of CYCLOPS – or will the police crush the rebellion and tyrannize Britain for ever?
