About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is bursting with a piece of big news and needs to learn how to channel that wiggly, joyful energy. It is the perfect choice for a child who has just experienced a milestone, like a new pet or a new sibling, and is eager to share their excitement with the world. The story follows a young girl who rushes to her neighbor Mary Bloom's house to announce that her pet mouse has had babies. What follows is a delightful, noisy chain reaction of barking dogs, screeching owls, and meowing cats that perfectly mirrors a child's internal sense of chaotic wonder. It is ideal for children aged 3 to 7 who are navigating social boundaries and the thrill of friendship. Parents will appreciate how it models a warm, intergenerational friendship and celebrates the small, magical moments of everyday life. This book helps validate a child's enthusiasm while gently showing the impact their energy has on the environment around them.
