REVIEW

The illustrations in this book are gorgeous! They have the soft dreamy feel to them that I am such a big fan of. Each of the animals stands out in a beautiful way. The story is sweet too as the mouse leads the animals on a search for the biggest creature in the world. And having company makes the adventure all the more exciting for the mouse. As the mouse asks each animal if he/she is the largest creature in the world they say no and express interest in joining the adventure. The mouse is very welcoming and inspires the others to go on an adventure as well. This is a truly sweet story about how one can inspire many to experience things they might never have tried on their own. A winner all the way around.
