At closing time a key locks the library and unlocks the dreams of a little mouse who waits in the shadows Skipping sliding down the pages of books--he steps inside magical stories inviting readers to come along for the ride
"What do a mouse a trapeze and a library have in common The answer lies within the pages of the Little Library Mouse by Stephanie Lisa Tara
A nameless mouse jumps into action through rhyme as the library is closed for the evening We're invited on a journey as the mouse "sails on a sentence" and becomes library book characters including a ship a wild animal and a circus act
Tara enchants us with her storytelling as she makes a library tour exciting encouraging literacy and reading Little Library Mouse is to be applauded for its light-as-a-feather rhymes a style Tara undoubtedly perfected while earning a BA in English
The illustrations by Alex Walton are bold confident full-page drawings of a mouse as he takes on the identity of the story he becomes
