Description

Once upon a time, there was a little mouse named Trokitikoulis. Every time Trokitikoulis the little mouse saw the stars in the sky, he wanted to touch them.

"Grandpa," he would say to his grandfather, "please lift me up in your arms so I can touch a star."

"What you are asking is not possible, my little grandchild," his grandfather would reply. "The stars are much too high. It is not at all easy for anyone to touch them..."

The story crafted by the clever pen of Eugene Trivizas can be read at any time, in any season of the year. His signature guarantees that readers will not stumble upon moralizing lessons, but will travel to beautiful meanings with humor and imagination as their guides.

("The Mouse")

Key Features

  • Theme: Dreams, Perseverance, Hope, Christmas
  • Style: Tender, funny, and full of imagination
  • Age: from 3 years old

Suitable for:

It is an excellent gift for Christmas, as the story reaches its climax around the Christmas tree, but it can be read at any time of the year. Choose it to:

  • Inspire your child to chase their dreams, no matter how high they may seem.
  • Read an adventure with a beloved animal hero who never gives up.
  • Spend a warm and sweet time before bedtime.

Why This Book Is Special:

  • Written by the beloved author Eugene Trivizas, whose pen guarantees humor and beautiful messages, avoiding moralizing lessons.
  • It is one of the first Greek fairy tales to be adapted into three-dimensional animation (by ERT and Time Lapse Pictures).
  • Promotes the value of perseverance and believing in our wishes, showing that luck favors those who try.
  • This is an edition with special features that make it unique in the children's library.

With the book you can:

  • Discuss: “If you were Little Mouse, what else would you try to reach the little star?”, “What is your biggest dream?”
  • Ask the child: “How did Little Mouse feel when everyone told him that what he wanted was impossible?”, “Which moment in the story made you laugh the most?”

  • Play/Create/Imitate: Make “little stars” out of aluminum foil or glitter and play climbing games (e.g. on pillows) to “touch” them, imitating Little Mouse’s efforts.

Read an excerpt

– But one day, Grandpa, you’ll see, I will touch a little star. But before I touch it, I will wash my little hands very well, so I don’t dirty its silver dust. And there was nothing little Trokitikoulis didn’t do to touch a little star! He would take a running start and jump with all his might as high as he could. He climbed broomsticks. He climbed telegraph poles. He climbed TV antennas. He climbed bell towers. But nothing. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t manage to touch a little star.

    One of the most beautiful Christmas stories! There is no child who didn't love it. It falls into the "Must have" category. I would say for ages 3 and up, but it also depends on how familiar each child is with books.

    I read it right away, but it didn't show any particular enthusiasm. However, it was rated 8, so clearly the story is aimed at younger ages.
