Awarded as Children's Book of the Year by the Daily Telegraph and the Observer, this beautifully illustrated picture book with cut-outs follows the adventures of Little Mouse through the changes of the seasons. Written in a gentle rhyme that reflects the slow pace of Mouse's journey, Mouse's Wood is a heartfelt celebration of slow living in nature.
The story follows Mouse, who begins his adventure in winter with January to visit his friend, Squirrel. Mouse continues to wake Tortoise for the arrival of spring, and as he travels along the forest path, his journey from friend to friend captures the changes of the seasons from January to December, enjoying picnics with Mole in May and gathering berries with Hasky in June, seeking refuge in Fox's warm caravan as winter approaches.
