About this ebook
As Mouse calmed down, he reasoned with Simon from between the pillows about why they should try something different. Anyone can be mean, Mouse told Simon, but it takes a bigger cat or mouse to get beyond fighting. Mouse suggested a crazy idea, which Simon finally accepted. Why not be friends and see how much they could help Molly? After all, didnt they both care for her?
What happened next saved Mouses life. It also led to friendship for this unlikely pair of Simon the Cat and Lighthouse Mouse. Learning to work as a team to help Molly, they discovered joys and fun in their unlikely friendship. Playing in harmony and helping Molly with lighthouse duties, they learned life lessons that children intuitively understand. Cooperation and faith are major skills that many children struggle to master. This childrens animal fantasy lays groundwork for faith, hope, and cooperation. When they make up their minds to do so, children can conquer challenges that might otherwise cause trouble and lead to misery.
As the second childrens book in a series, this is the follow-up to Independent Publishing Publishers award-winning book The Lighthouse Mouse. It is a whimsical book for children ages four to eight. For parents and teachers, it is a book for anyone wanting to share wholesome values with young children.
