Description
Can I take Mouse for a walk? I ask, and Im always allowed.We set off, very slowly. Mouse walks at a snails pace. He stops at lampposts and fences and sniffs for a long time.Sometimes he looks up at me and then I usually say something.I maybe say old man in a very nice voice, not my usual one...I wish Mouse was mine. My Dog Mouse offers friendship, humour and gentle heartache in one dog walk. This is a book for anyone who knows what it is to love an old slow dog, with ears as thin as pancakes.
Reviews / Votes
"This graceful picture book catches at the heart in small ways ... the wry, gentle narrative voice leads readers along as if it's walking the old dog." Kirkus Reviews, starred review; "Lindstroem's story stays light and funny all the way through-then ends with a shaft to the heart... Yet readers know that the title tells the truth; the way Mouse looks longingly after the girl on the final page proves it." Publishers WeeklyMore details
