Other editions of book The Little Mouse on the Prairie

V. Ray Camp was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1949 and has loved to read books all of his life. He loved them so much that he aspired to be a writer, and wrote many short stories and some poetry throughout his life. This is his first children's book which captures the senses of despair, hope, and finally triumph as a family of mice are forced to find a new home when their home is about to be bulldozed under to make way for a new building. Neisy, the smallest and meekest mouse, becomes the heroine as she enlists the help of a mole to move her family across the vast prairie to the safety of the huge rock at the edge of the woods.
