#Read2025

Finished this one last weekend for April‘s #ChildrensClassicRead2025 First published in 1957, I‘m not sure how I missed this one growing up especially since the author‘s The Story of Holly and Ivy was a holiday favorite as a child. This is a quick & sweet read about Bonnie, a baby mouse who gets pushed out of her family‘s crowded flowerpot & finds a mouse house to live in. The illustrations are wonderful. 🐭🏠

Twenty minutes of pure pleasure. #ChildrensClassicChallenge @TheBookHippie

Just soooo sweet! I want to read this to every child I know! Another winner from @TheBookHippie ‘s #ChildrensClassicRead .

Thanks to @TheBookHippie and #ChildrensClassicRead2025 for reminding me that I had this sweet (tagged) book waiting on my shelves. And, as others have mentioned, the illustrations are gorgeous!

I always pick up these New York Review Children‘s Collection editions when I spot them in used bookshops.

I enjoyed this sweet little story of Mary and her mouse house but mostly I enjoyed the illustrations, they felt very nostalgic for my childhood reading days.

Such a cute book with adorable illustrations! 🐭 🏡
I finally read an archive book that @TheBookHippie shared the link of.
It‘s much easier to read on my computer than my phone. 🤩
I love the library card 🩵

#shelfie We‘re moving house and I‘m so sad about leaving my beautiful book shelves behind. We had these made for us, to take up the entire wall in our lounge room. We don‘t have shelves ready to move them into, so the books will sit in boxes for a while…
My husband and I are trying to cull, but it‘s tough. I know you feel me. 🥺📚📦
