I had mixed feelings about this book. I think it has a nice story but there is no real message to children or the readers of the book. This story is about a mouse who lost his home, and when he finds an old run down station house he is determined to restore it and create his own home. The characters in the story were the mouse and a young boy, neither were fully developed or given a background. The writing and language were organized and descriptive but the illustrations and writing weren't very engaging. ( )

★★★★The Lost and Found House by Consuelo Joerns

This was a childhood favorite, I have passed to my daughter. She thinks it's great to see my books from childhood.

This is the story of Cricket the mouse. When a storm blows his house away he must hurry and find new shelter before winter. He stumbles upon an old station house, that is just his size. But it is old and in shambles, so he has to fix his new house, to make it a home. ( )
