The Mouse Who Wasn't Scared

Little Mouse heads into the woods to prove her bravery — and ends up with a startling lift-the-flap surprise.

Rabbit warns Little Mouse about playing in the woods for fear of big, frightening animals, but Little Mouse isn’t scared of anything. She walks deep into the forest, bouncing on toadstools, hiding in the shadows, and jumping off logs. She encounters plenty of big animals, but Little Mouse isn’t afraid . . . or is she? A cleverly placed flap reveals that Little Mouse’s fears might not be big and scary — but they are cute and fluffy! Readers will eagerly follow Little Mouse on her journey through the dark forest in this entertaining woodland offering from Petr Horácek.
