A Best Selling Usborne Book

 A hungry mouse came out one night to find some food and encountered an exciting adventure.  He is being chased by a cat, scared by a parrot and scares Mr and Mrs B all before he finds the cheese (or does he get the cheese?)

This is an example of an Usborne slot book.  In this book, there is a "mouse" that follows the dotted line and slips through slots on each page.  You never know where he will turn up on the next page.

According to the website there are many educational benefits of this book.

• Holding the mouse is like holding a pencil. It teaches fine motor skills to little fingers.
• Following the dotted line encourages early writing skills.
• The mouse always moves from left to right, which is important
  to early reading skills.
• The child learns to turn one page at a time. If they turn a few pages at once, the mouse won’t be there.

 In my opinion, this is a must have book for any child.  They will want to read the story over and over again (don't worry moms it isn't a super long story)  This book is only $10.99 and will last for many years.  Also available is A Squirrel's Tale.
