Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Ages 3^-5. Mouse is on his way home when he loses his balance and falls to the ground. He grouses that this isn't his lucky day--but the clear, colorful pictures show that the fall saved him just in time from a big cat that was about to pounce. The same thing happens when he falls into a dark hole; he doesn't realize that he has escaped a bird. A thistle makes him jump, and he escapes a snake . . . and so on. Children will enjoy the suspenseful story and the way the pictures tell them what Mouse doesn't know about his dangers and his narrow escapes. Hazel Rochman
Customer Reviews
Great for adults as well as kids
My 3 year old son loves this book because of the silly things that almost happen to the mouse. I love the book because it helps me put things into perspective in my own life. Just as the mouse is complaining about his minor problem, you see the danger that he narrowly escaped, and yes, it could have been a lot worse. I buy this book as a gift, more for the parents than for the kids.
read daily
This is a story of a cute little mouse who thinks he's having a terrible day, only to find out in the end that "it could have been worse." What a great reminder to us all that we need to count our blessings and be thankful for even the little mishaps along life's path. They may be saving us from a much worse fate.
A Mouse Has a Very Bad Day
Not exactly a cheery little book.
A mouse narrowly survives various attempts on his life by a series of predators, arrives home where his mother treats his cuts and bruises and reminds him that "it could have been MUCH worse".
