Critics Review
The great John Burningham makes picture books whose sophistication is wrapped in simplicity. This is true of the images, whose unfussy beauty and wibbly line are executed with unwavering skill. This story, of mice who are forewarned to escape a mouse-catcher, embraces the importance of protecting strangers from harm. * The Sunday Times *Here’s one to squeak and squeak about… Mouse House is packed with themes: children v parents; empathy v tolerance; why you should think before you speak, or squeak. It’s a serious story that might also be about the treatment of immigrants, the narrow-mindedness of the old and the infuriating naivety of youth - or it could just be about a failed attempt to kill rodents. * The Times *
