In this beautifully illustrated children's fairy tale with cut flaps, we follow the Mouse from the forest to the river's mouth to visit an old friend by the sea. This wonderful successor to the award-winning "Mouse in the Forest" accompanies the Mouse on a new adventure - from the forest, down a tranquil river to the sea - to visit an old friend.

The detailed illustrations include many plants and animals for children to recognize, while the atmospheric rhyming ends with a calm conclusion, ideal for bedtime. The story takes place over twenty-four hours, observing the changing environment along the riverbanks, the transition from day to night, from fair weather to rain and back again, and introduces us to a new group of friendly characters who greet the Mouse along the way, such as otters, water voles, and many aquatic birds.

The Mouse travels near a lush willow, to a town by the river with a dam, to a river island, to a reed bed, to the river's mouth, and to the open sea beach before completing its journey on the coast. Illustrated by Alice Melvin, who spent hours drawing directly from nature to create the book. "Mouse on the River" is sure to capture the hearts of readers with its charming characters and detailed scenes.

A nature observation guide is also included at the back of the book.
