This is a retelling of a number of different fairy tales, like Jack & The Beanstalk, Puss in Boots, Little Red Riding Hood, through the perspective of a mouse that is about to be eaten by 2 house cats. The fairy tales are experiences and stories that have been passed down to this mouse over generations. It is a really cute story and the illustrations are adorable. It was be fun as a read-aloud and also a refreshing take on well-known fairy tales. Another plus is that the mouse is a baker and there are wonderful sentences about the wonderful wafting smells of baking cookies. I would bake some cookies and read this to my nieces and nephews if they were around.

If you feel like reviewing a young adult (12 and up) title, may I suggest one? "Outcasts Of Skagaray" is an action fantasy adventure, of similar genre to Tolkien and C.S.Lewis. If you want to preview it, please go to www.threeswans.com.au and read the sample chapters. Your opinion would be valued. Best wishes, in any case. My blog is http://threeswans.blogspot.com if you feel like visiting.
