Mouse Goes to the Mountains is the hotly anticipated fourth installment in Alice Melvin’s Mouse’s Adventures series, which has been a hit worldwide: translated into twenty-one languages, with over 375,000 copies in print across the series. This time, Mouse is heading into the mountains on a hiking adventure to take in breathtaking views and discover the wildlife that makes this remarkable habitat a home.
Join Mouse on a new adventure as he leaves the urban bustle of a busy railroad station and makes his way to a remote and majestic mountain peak. This journey has a distinctively fall-like feel to set it apart from Mouse’s other adventures. The book also features a subtle message in the illustrations about biodiversity, showing the effects of overgrazing and even depicting mountain hares planting saplings to restore mountain forests.
Alice Melvin’s charming illustrations create an immersive world full of wildlife, friendly woodland creatures, and stunning scenery. She has spent countless hours researching and drawing from nature to develop an authentic journey for Mouse. Interactive flaps and gatefolds throughout draw the reader’s attention to details hidden among the illustrations.
The book also includes a nature guide with fascinating facts about the different habitats and wildlife that Mouse finds on his trip up the mountain.
