About This Book
Reach for this book when your child delights in being in on a secret or feels like they notice things that grown-ups miss. It's a playful seek-and-find story set in the fancy Park Snoot Hotel. A little girl asks the staff if there's a mouse, and while they all insist 'Certainly not!', the reader can spot the clever mouse having fun on every single page. This book fosters visual literacy and celebrates a child's unique, observant perspective. It's perfect for ages 3 to 7, empowering young readers by making them feel clever and in on the joke.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is light, humorous, and without any sensitive content.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler (age 3-6) who loves seek-and-find games and has a budding sense of humor. This book is perfect for a child who is highly observant and gets a thrill from noticing details that others miss. It validates their unique perspective and empowers them by making them 'smarter' than the adult characters.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book can be read cold. A parent might want to pause on each page to give the child ample time to locate the mouse before revealing its location or turning the page, making the discovery a shared, fun experience. A parent has just seen their child absorbed in a 'Where's Waldo?' or 'I Spy' book and is looking for a similar experience embedded within a charming narrative. Or, the child is in a phase where they enjoy pointing out silly contradictions or things grown-ups do not see.
