Need a House? Call Ms Mouse!
A charming and popular children's classic about an industrious architect mouse, brought to life for a new generation.
All the animals want to live in a house designed by Henrietta, because she is the only mouse in the world who understands exactly what makes a squirrel or a rabbit, a caterpillar or a frog feel at home.
This exquisitely illustrated love song to creativity will fast become a household favourite.
