The Great Green Mouse Disaster

Martin Waddell and Philippe Dupasquier

5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "The Great Green Mouse Disaster" on Amazon

This magnificent wordless saga is now out in paperback. Eleven double spread expanses of detailed illustration depict the progressive disintegration of a hotel invaded by the Mouseman's performing hordes. The cross-sectional design exposes the effects of the catastrophe unfolding in different rooms; you can focus on one room at a time and trace the mounting mayhem within it from page to page, or you can feast your eyes on the sprawling intricacies of the whole panorama. Children in both reception and upper junior classes found this book a treat, and I have had occasional difficulties in wresting my copy from the various adults who have picked it up for a browse. Highly recommended for everybody.
