Mouse's House: Behind the Scenes

 Hello readers,


Today, we are going to talk about some things you may not have noticed in the book Mouse's House. There is more to this book than meets the eye, and you may have to read it several times to find all the hidden details.


Page 3: You can see the birds from page 5 in the bird's nest in the tree. Later, on page 5, Mouse pretends to be one of the baby birds. 


Page 6: There is a beehive and a mother bee at the top of the page. On the next page, Mouse tries to find his house in this beehive. 
Page 7: On a branch, Mouse pretends to fly by attaching himself to a string on the tree. 


Page 9: Mouse is swinging on a swing at the top of the page because he is trying to be a monkey or a sloth.

Page 10: In the corner of the page, Mouse's mother is looking at him when Mouse is sad. She just found him!

Page 11: You may not have noticed that all of Mouse's family is thinking about their house and their family. You can see their thought bubbles all have houses. On the top section is Mouse's brother, George, with the brown belly. He plays Minecraft with Mouse, as you can see in the post "How Would Our Characters Play Minecraft?"  The mouse in the middle of the page, climbing the rope, is his sister, Henriette. On the left corner is Mouse's mom, from the page before. She has long blonde hair, like Rapunzel. On the right corner is Mouse's dad, who has green hair and a beard. Mouse is taking his spot in his prized cup. The cup has a picture of a mouse on it. Mouse is so happy because he finally found his family!

Page 12: On the bottom left corner of the house has a crack, where Mouse's family lives. You can see the outline of 5 little mice. The big house is actually where Scarlett and her family live! 
Page 13: On the last page, you can see the returning characters from the other pages. 



We hope you learned something new from this post. Let us know what your favorite Mouse's House secret is in the comments section!

Sincerely, 
Bethany and Mika
