Description

There's lots to do before Little Mouse is ready to go visit the barn. Will he master all the intricacies of getting dressed, from snaps and buttons to Velcro and tail holes? Eisner Award-winning cartoonist Jeff Smith and his determined Little Mouse reveal all the smallest pleasures of this daily task.

About the Author

When Jeff Smith was growing up in a small town in Ohio, he loved cartooning, but he never imagined all the places comics would take him. With the help of his wife, Vijaya, Jeff created, published, and sold his comic book BONE. Jeff hadn’t created BONE specifically for kids, but his fantastic tale of three cousins lost in a strange land appealed to all readers, including children, and it went on to sell millions of copies. BONE won multiple Eisner and Harvey Awards, and TIME called it one of the ten greatest graphic novels of all time. In 2008, Jeff’s work was the subject of a major museum exhibit at the Wexner Center Galleries in Columbus, Ohio. His other books include Shazam! The Monster Society of Evil and RASL. This is his first book created just for younger readers.

Praise for Little Mouse Gets Ready: Toon Books Level 1

Little Mouse was EXACTLY the early reader comic I was looking for. It presents the best of the comics medium in a format that is incredibly accessible to beginning readers… I think Toon Books is really onto something special. At the very least, they helped give my daughter the tools to learn to love an artform that I've loved since I was a kid, which is an exceptionally cool gift for an aging, balding geek-dad. Thanks Toon Books!
