Mice Twice

Reach for this book when your child feels small in a world of 'big' people, or when they are struggling with a peer who uses size to intimidate others. It is a masterclass in cleverness over physical strength, proving that a calm mind and a few good friends can solve even the scariest problems. The story follows a mouse who is invited to dinner by a hungry cat, only to turn the tables by bringing along increasingly large and unexpected guests of his own. Through witty dialogue and a delightful sense of escalating tension, Mice Twice explores themes of self-confidence and creative problem-solving. It is a perfect choice for children ages 4 to 8 who enjoy humor and logic puzzles. This Caldecott Honor book uses a classic fable structure to show that you don't need to be the strongest person in the room to be the most prepared. It is a sophisticated yet accessible tale that encourages kids to think two steps ahead of any challenge.
