Mice Skating cover

Funny, warmhearted story about Lucy the mouse who wants to share her love of skating with her friends. Great messages about perseverance, sharing and friendship. Features intricately detailed, adorable illustrations by popular illustrater Teagan White.

For most field mice, winter means burrowing down and snuggling in. But not for Lucy! She loves snow crunching under her paws and wearing a fluffy wool hat. But most of all, Lucy loves to skate. The other mice just don't understand. Can Lucy find a way to make her friends come out and "mice skate" too? A funny, punny, warmhearted love song to winter-and to one brave, bold mouse.A winter wonderland is twice as nice when you have friends to share it with. For most field mice, winter means burrowing down and snuggling in. But not for Lucy! She loves snow crunching under her paws and wearing a fluffy wool hat. But most of all, Lucy loves to skate and she is ACHING to share her new skill with her friends. After a disastrous indoor snowball fight, she finally succeeds at getting her three best pals outdoors to make snow angels and "mice skate" on the pond using the pine-needle skates she has made for them. Together they bloom like spring! With intricately detailed illustrations, this funny, punny, warmhearted love song to winter - and to one bold, generous mouse - will have kids bundling up to scoop some outdoor fun of their own.

“Field mice are supposed to spend the winter burrowing and huddling underground, but little Lucy would rather be out in the bracing cold. She can’t convince her mouse friends to join her, until she finds a way to get them to follow her to the pond for ice skating. Silvestro’s simple story is heavy on cheese puns likely to sail past younger listeners, but White’s charming illustrations, with their miniaturist sensibility and cozy wood-toned textures, will have little ones hunting through the pages for details of the field-mouse lifestyle and décor.” —The New York TImes
