Summary

Beatrix Potter meets I Spy in this detailed and charming storybook adventure

Best friends Julia and Sam are mice who live in the Mouse Mansion。  When they’re together they find all sorts of adventures—and all kinds of trouble！

Come with them as they discover a secret hiding place， greet the ragman， and learn to make pancakes。 There is a shop that sells everything and a box full of treasure。 And—oh no！—there might even be a rat！  The Mouse Mansion is always full of surprises。

Author and artist Karina Schaapman spent years building and furnishing the Mouse Mansion in which this collection of stories takes place。  The elaborate dollhouse is made of cardboard boxes and papier-mâché and contains more than one hundred rooms to explore。

Kindle cannot enlarge pictures！I bought this book to study the pictures of the wild and adorable mouse doll house。 I can’t do that because the ridiculous story text is the only thing that will enlarge - and it does that in a window that opens over the photographs！ This is sooo aggravating。Whoever designed this book is an idiot。 Thanks， genius， for exactly nothing。

This was really cute and fun。 Just astonishing to think about the time that went into making all those rooms--so much detail！！

Nie zwracajcie uwagi na historie: to domek zachwyca i robi całą robotę！ Te szczegóły， o mamo。 Respekt。

Melody Schwarting ，

Karina Schaapman has an incredibly detailed mansion for her murine creations， and photographs little scenes with brief stories to accompany them。 The text is fairly lackluster， but the love that went into the miniatures more than makes up for it。 It could inspire young readers to make up their own photograph/text book with their toys。 A must-read if you have a burning desire to see mice celebrating Shabbat or using tiny Brillo pads。

Emma ，

I really， really， really wish I could see the real mouse mansion。 I could definitely spend some time looking at that！ So much work has gone into this！

Vizuální blaho pro rodiče。 Ale nakonec to přijala i dvouletá， takže si vesele v knihovně objednám další díl。

Je bent nooit te oud voor kinderboeken。 Het is zó’n leuk boek en de foto’s van het zelfgebouwde muizenhuis erbij maken het nog leuker。

Tania Freitas ，

A nivel visual: 5 estrellas。 El texto: bastante malo。 Mejor que cada uno cuente su propia historia a través de las imágenes。

Love the art！

Charming， but difficult to read on Kindle。 The words were all magnifiable， but the pictures weren’t。

Kathryn ，

My children and I both thoroughly enjoyed this book。 The stories are lightweight and a bit lacking in literary merit， IMO， but they are entertaining enough。 The miniatures are the star of the show。 So much wonderful detail， whimsy and creativity。 My sons both asked for a reread already。

Natalie Lozano ，

Me sorprendió la cantidad de detalles tan bien cuidados de cada espacio de la casa， de cada objeto， de cada textura， se nota que detrás hay un trabajo de años de construcción， decoración y posterior escritura maravilloso。

Three stars only because the illustrations are so incredibly charming。 The text is disjointed， lackluster， and disappointing。

While the adventures of Sam and Julia were cute， the real treasure is the mouse mansion itself。 The creativity， attention to detail， the charm and whimsy of it captured my imagination！ It is a visual delight。

Nejprve jsem k těmto knížkám byla skeptická， ani pořádně netuším proč， ale dcera se do nich ihned zamilovala a bylo jasno。 Velkoformátové obrázky， krátké， ale příjemné příběhy。 A já navíc cením celý nápad， kdy si autorka všechno dekorace a detaily vytvořila sama， nafotila a napsala příběhy。 Další díly proto na sebe nenechali dlouho čekat， některé další doma ještě máme a řekla bych， že neztrácení na kvalitě， ba naopak。

Linda ，

This was a gift from family members who know exactly what I like。。。。。。。。。。。。The Mouse Mansion is the wonderful story of the adventures of best friends Julia and Sam who have an amazing world to explore。 The reader will find themselves engrossed in the photos of the mansion as there is so much detail and so many things to see。 It all fits but one wonders how。This is a book for young people and for those like me。。。。。。。。。。。。。young at heart！

The details in the pictures of her dioramas were amazing。 The stories were something that children could relate to。

Amazing dollhouse/mousetown。 So much fun to see all the details in this actual building， and it was accompanied by a fun story。 Inspiring！

If you enjoy the "Brambly Hedge" books， you'll love this one。 Schaapman and company have taken enormous pains to create a similar mouse-world in photographs， with knitted mice and incredible attention to detail。 This includes， curiously enough， quite a lot of brand-name product placement， such as Huggies and Pampers， All and Oxydol detergent， IKEA bags， and even Prince Edward Island Potatoes， which manage to find a spot in nearly every photo。 The attention to detail even includes the endpapers: If you enjoy the "Brambly Hedge" books， you'll love this one。 Schaapman and company have taken enormous pains to create a similar mouse-world in photographs， with knitted mice and incredible attention to detail。 This includes， curiously enough， quite a lot of brand-name product placement， such as Huggies and Pampers， All and Oxydol detergent， IKEA bags， and even Prince Edward Island Potatoes， which manage to find a spot in nearly every photo。 The attention to detail even includes the endpapers: the front shows the mansion by day， the endpaper the same scene by night。Fans of the Brambly Hedge mice will recognise several story points， too--the storehouse， the mariner mouse， and there are even baby triplet mice！ However， Schaapman makes the stories her own with some interesting additions， including a mouse Shabbat dinner。 The photos are fascinating， particularly for children who will pore over the details with delight。 One tiny quibble: I was annoyed by the constant use of CAPS for words like VERY and SUPER， which occur at least once per page。 What ever happened to italics， or even a larger font？There are apparently several volumes in the set， but as large format hardbacks， they don't come cheap。 Considering that the author went to the length of creating handknitted mice and clothing them， as well as creating believable scenes for each page， the expense is justified。 。。。more
