Charlie & Mouse: Book 1

Description

Meet the Theodor Seuss Geisel Medal-winning Charlie and Mouse! Join them in their very first book (now available in PB) as they: talk to lumps, take the neighbourhood to a party, sell some rocks, and invent the bedtime banana. With imagination and humour, Laurel Snyder and Emily Hughes paint a lively picture of brotherhood in four irresistible stories that readers will relish.

Laurel Snyder is the author of many books for children. She lives and writes in a small yellow house in Atlanta, Georgia, which she shares with her husband and two sons. She would like to state for the record that while none of these stories are exactly true, none of them are exactly untrue either. Emily Hughes is an illustrator (and sometimes writer) who lives in windy Brighton, England, while thinking fondly of her hometown in Hilo, Hawaii. When making books she uses pencils, her tablet, and a very, very generous stack of paper.
