“Mouse’s persistence pays off in more ways than one, making this a satisfying story for anyone who, like Mouse, has ‘dreamed of a better life.’” – BookPage, starred review
“This simply told, sweet, gently humorous story will have great appeal for young readers/listeners, and Mouse is a quietly charming heroine kids will earnestly root for.” – Kirkus
“[E]specially poignant moments…could spark discussion among youngsters about whom we decide to care about and why, and what truly makes a home.” – BCCB
“Prahin gives little ones a thrilling adventure in miniature with this mouse-centered tale.” – Booklist
“Prahin renders engaging characters and dreamlike backdrops in a palette of verdant fresh greens, pale blues, and touches of old rose. The ship-in-a-bottle charms (it’s like a small, seaworthy caravan), and Mouse is a poised hero.”
