The Mouse Who Ate The Moon

The star of A New House for Mouse embarks on a new adventure in Petr Horacek’s wonderful peep-through story book - our picture book of the month for June.

When Little Mouse wakes one morning, she finds her dream has come true. Outside her burrow, a piece of the moon has fallen from the sky and it smells delicious. But what happens once Little Mouse has had a little nibble...?

Peep through the cut-out holes in this beautiful and heart- warming tale from the award-winning and much-loved Petr Horacek, whose bold and imaginative illustrations continue to captivate children and critics. His stories, often about loyalty and belonging, are told with an instinctive warmth and humour and are beautifully brought to life through his evocative use of colour and texture.

He has won many awards around the world for classics such as Suzy Goose and A New House for Mouse and was shortlisted for the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal in 2012. He lives in Worcester.
