Mit Maus im Wald

A Year in the Woods with Mouse and Her Good Friends: a charmingly illustrated book about the joys of the different seasons.

In January, Mouse lies under thick blankets in her warm bed and reads. In February, she wraps a scarf around her neck and visits Squirrel. In March, she helps her friend Hedgehog, who has just woken up from hibernation, with the laundry. In April, she enjoys the lush bloom of flowers. In May, there is a cheerful picnic. In June, elderflowers and ripe wild strawberries are gathered. In November, she warms herself by the campfire with her friend Fox.

This beautifully illustrated book by Alice Melvin takes us through a year in nature with cheerful rhymes. It is filled with loving details and a warmth that is contagious. It offers surprising insights into the cozy homes of woodland creatures and celebrates all the small and large changes and joys of the seasons.
