The Mouse Who Reached the Sky

Cleverly placed peek-through pages and Petr Horácek’s bold illustrations combine to produce a tale of teamwork and unexpected rewards.

One morning, Little Mouse spots something red and shiny hanging from a branch. It must be a marble! Too short to reach it alone, she enlists her friends Mole (who thinks it’s a balloon) and Rabbit (who’s sure it’s a ball) to help out. With a wondrous playtime on their minds, the three animals team up in an attempt to reach the elusive object. And they’re in for a tasty surprise! Toddlers will delight in peeking through the holes, turning the pages, and unfolding the striking vertical flap to reveal the shower of lovely cherries that rewards the friends for their team effort.
