A whole day happens in a hedgerow. A brown mama mouse lives under a tree by the gate of a little blue house, and her three mousekins spend the morning counting themselves, chasing bees through the poppies, arguing about which berries are the best ones, and getting steadily more tired until she walks them home to sleep. Twelve board pages, one gentle day, no jeopardy at all.
Riley Samels paints it like a nature study rather than a cartoon: ferns, red toadstools, a snail on a stem, dragonflies over water, poppies going over in the late light. Behind each sturdy flap is something small and specific to find, so a toddler who cannot follow the story yet still has a reason to keep turning.
Five inches square and nearly an inch thick, written by Ginger Swift. Designed in the United States and published by Cottage Door Press in July 2022. It shelves beside the Babies Love Lift-a-Flap titles arriving at Stellar Luxe in the same delivery.
