Mice Mischief

Reach for this book when your child is beginning to recognize patterns or showing curiosity about how numbers combine to form larger groups. This is a perfect selection for a transition period where a child is moving from simple counting to early addition, providing a playful and low-pressure environment for mathematical discovery. Through the antics of ten busy circus mice, the story explores themes of collaboration and joy.
