Follow Tiny Mouse through all kinds of weather in a delightful, interactive concept book by award-winning author-illustrator Petr Horacek.

Tiny Mouse loves nibbling corn in the sunshine. She loves the crackle of the leaves in the wind. She even loves the snowflakes when they tickle her nose. But when the rain starts to fall, Tiny Mouse runs for her hole. What will make her come out? Toddlers will love turning the wheel to discover the answer—a beautiful rainbow. A cheerful board book about different kinds of weather makes the perfect pick for rainy-day story time.
The baby-friendly text is rich in vocabulary: "nibbling," "crackly," "crunchy," "tickle," "splashy," lovely"—all words that babies will easily understand by the context. Tiny Mouse and her small adventure are a most welcome addition to the board-book shelf.
