MOUSIE MOUSE – 4 titles
by Martina Badstuber
published by Magellan
Mousie Mouse has a lot to do! On Monday, they get dressed up; on Tuesday, they go shopping; on Wednesday, they go for a walk. And in the morning, they eat two slices of toast; at noon, they play with six paper planes; and in the evening, they count nine stars. And the next day, they have to pick strawberries in the garden, look for treasures in the attic, and bake cakes in the kitchen. And in spring, they enjoy the flowers; in summer, they go to the beach; in autumn, they fly a kite; and in winter, they go sledging. On these colourful spreads, there’s a lot to discover!
A series of board books supporting language learning and counting practice in a playful way.

Weeing isn’t a problem any more. Who’d have thought it could be so easy!
Goodbye nappies – but it’s not always quite so straightforward!
