Two Tiny Mice: A Mouse-Eye Exploration of Nature

By Alan Baker

This delightfully sweet storybook follows a duo of harvest mice as they explore the countryside. A unique mouse-eye view shows creatures in their natural habitats as the two meet a quiet rabbit, get a peek in an energetic sparrow’s nest, and make an amphibious acquaintance near the river. Exploring is tiring, but at the end of the day there is a cozy, warm nest to crawl back into, and the two mice dream of what nature will bring tomorrow. This title features twelve beautifully drawn animals to discover as Baker’s award-winning illustrations put fascinating creatures like badgers, ducks, and squirrels at your fingertips.

First published in 1990, this captivating story is a celebration of the value and irreplaceable beauty of nature, but it doesn’t end there! This revised edition of Two Tiny Mice includes descriptions of all the animals illustrated, so kids can learn about the wildlife right outside their door. A classic book back in print, Two Tiny Mice will nurture curiosity and a lasting respect for the outdoors.

Alan Baker

Alan is a born and bred Australian who lives in Melbourne and is a husband of one, father of three and grandfather of four (so far). He has retired from the workforce and spends most of his valuable time e-mailing talk back radio stations, buying wine on line, doing part time maintenance work at his wife’s school, doing the housework at home and planning his next overseas trip. He has never written a book before (some might say that it’s obvious) but now has plenty of time to write about life’s experiences, particularly about travel. Look out for his book on the United Kingdom and his future book on his next trip to Europe in 2015.
