Description
Book SynopsisJulian is a mouse who is perfectly happy avoiding other animals. They seem to just get in the way, and sometimes even try to eat him! But one day, Julian has an unexpected dinner guest... When the fox tries to sneak into Julian's burrow for a tasty bite of mouse, it finds itself stuck headfirst in Julian's front door! At first alarmed and wary, they soon find themselves having a lovely dinner together, and it's not long before each realises that they have found in the other a lifelong friend.
Trade ReviewFrom Flying Eye, Joe Todd-Stanton's A Mouse Called Julian offers Brambly Hedge-style charm spiced with a pinch of peril. Julian, a solitary mouse, regrets his aloofness when a fox breaks into his home, determined to eat him - but fox and mouse become unlikely friends. Cross section illustrations of glowing, cosy rooms, slyly funny dialogue and a nuanced happy ending add up to a picture book as warm as a candle-lit burrow. * The Guardian *
Intricate illustrations of the natural world are a glorious backdrop to a story of enemies that become friends. -- James Ashton * Oscar's Book Prize *
A Mouse Called Julian is heart-warming tale that is so well-crafted that it will be enjoyed by children for many years to come. Each page is filled with vibrant images that are a feast for the eyes. * The Great British Bookworm *
