Rendition Toward Books The Mouse and His Child

"What are we, Papa?" the toy mouse child asked his father.
"I don't know," the father answered. "We must wait and see."
A tin father and son dance under a Christmas tree until they break ancient clock-work rules and are themselves broken. Discarded, rescued, repaired by a tramp, they quest for dream of a family and a place of their own - magnificent doll house, plush elephant, and tin seal remembered from a toy shop.

I'm finally finished. It took me a year to read this. At first I loved it. Then I felt it got stodgy and seemed a bit of a ramble and I set it aside. But the plight of the mouse and his child kept nagging at me to return. I'm so happy I did. The last third is the best third - problems are resolved and friends reunited and enemies...well, I'm not going to ruin it for you. In the end this proved to be rewarding and uplifting.

Existential nihilism for kids! Sounds like I'm joking, and I'm totally not. I first read this book when I was maybe 8 or 10, and it's the first time I remember realizing that literature could be SO much more than just a fun story. On the surface, it's a story about a windup mouse and his son attempting to find their place in a world after being broken and thrown away. They have adventures with various animals in a variety of environments - town dump, bottom of a pond, etc. - all while being

This is a book for adults. It is full of adult humor and themes--satire, parody, existentialism, nostalgia... I read it as a fourth grader but I don't think I understood it then, though I hope I enjoyed the adventure story. As an adult I loved it and cried at the end. The last few chapters are very satisfying and tender and smooth it out after all the scary and distressing events earlier in the book. It is a very unique work but if you like rereading classics such as Charlotte's Web as an adult,

Simply stunning -- the story of a wind-up mouse & his son and their adventures in the cold mean world beyond the nursery. This is no Velveteen Rabbit, however. After being thrown out in the trash and fixed by a transient, the clockwork toys find themselves enslaved to a greedy rat who rules the dump on the edge of town. Although they eventually manage to escape his clutches, the rat doggedly follows them as they bumble from crisis to crisis, dependent on the mercies of the strangers they

I discovered this book when I was under a tremendous amount of stress and flirting with the borders of depression. I was aware of my iffy state of mind and was careful in my choice of books. I didnt need anything like 1984 or Graveyard of the Fireflies which would surely send me into the abyss with a one-way ticket. I started The Mouse and His Child with caution, ready at any moment to shut the book and send it back unfinished should the story take a downward turnand it seemed at any moment it

A very interesting "children's" book. A lot of reviews address this book as dark. I would rather say that it addresses issues we would not normally find ourselves talking to children about and maybe should, especially in this day in age, when it is expected all to be well and all to succeed and the like. Where there is no failure, where life is definitely a struggle, and that without hope and faith, there is little else to sustain us. Things that need to be discussed with children. There are bad

I loved this. I don't remember reading it as a child, watching the movie, or hearing anything about it. I'm honestly not even sure how the book came to be in my possession, but if it wasn't my favorite of the books I read to my kids this year, it was certainly my favorite of the books I read to my kids that I'd never read, before. (It's hard to compete with Sheila the Great and The Best Christmas Pageant.) The Mouse and His Child is an adventure story of the caliber of so many other, better
