A fun story to share. Hermelin is a mouse born in a cheese box. He is quite intelligent and can type. He solves many mysteries at 33 Offley Street until the tenants realize he is a mouse (after invinting him to a party in his honor for helping them find their missing items. He doesn't understand why that is a problem until he researches and finds that mice are vermin. But, the story does have a happy ending when Hermelin finds the perfect partner. Age: Preschool-1st gradeA delightful introduction to mystery stories, Hermelin the mouse finds he is quite apt at finding lost things and helping out the people of Offley Street. The tid-bit stories are inviting and great for older picture book readers/listeners but the plenitude of mysteries means they are short and don't allow room for investigation. Also, the story is not entirely about solving mysteries. When Hermelin is invited to a party in his honor he scares the residents of Offley Street when they realize that he is a mouse. Disheartened to know that people view him as a pest he is about to leave when someone reaches out for his help to start up a detective agency.
Great story of a little mouse who solves mysteries on his street. Remember for LEGO Lit.
