Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This is a sweet, sad story of how newborn Little Meadow Mouse is very ill and passes away too soon. There is no further explanation for why he dies, but the surviving animal friends and Mommy Meadow Mouse, grieve for the little mouse and send his little body "to the other side", and wades his little basket into the sea. A helpful book for parents who have lost babies soon after birth or before and have other children they need to talk to about it. The illustrations are sweet and help move the story along." - Brittany, GoodReads
