Need A House? Call Ms. Mouse!
By George Mendoza, Illustrated by Doris Susan Smith
Every animal in the forest can have a home they love with the help of Ms. Mouse in this whimsical and educational book about design and architecture.? Henrietta is a world-famous architect, and the only mouse in the world who knows what makes a squirrel or a rabbit, a caterpillar or a frog feel at home. A dreamer, a designer, an artist, and a creator, Henrietta works at her drawing board to imagine the perfect home for each of her friends, be they woodland, water, subterranean or winged creatures.? With clever features, like a trapdoor for Mole or a telescope platform for Owl, and the ideal placement, like high in a pine for Squirrel or inside a pear for Caterpillar, Henrietta Mouse?s houses are both practical and beautiful?in short, ingenious!? George Mendoza?s Need a House? Call Ms. Mouse! is as inspiring today as when it was first published in 1981, and Doris Susan Smith?s illustrations of this hard-working female protagonist and her fantastical designs and architectural marvels will captivate young readers.? Hardcover, 48 pages.? Ages 4-8 years.
