The Mouse Who Reached the Sky

By Petr Horáček

This brightly illustrated story teaches teamwork and friendship. Mouse cannot reach the beautiful “marble” hanging from a tree. She asks mole and then rabbit to help her out. The three animal characters’ cheerful attitude as they solve the problem and the surprise ending make this story a fun read aloud for young children. There is a cut out and one fold out “tall” page which is not very durable in the library.
