Brave as a Mouse by Nicolo Carozzi


 I liked and didn't like this book.  To be fair, it is fine to put in a children's library.  I found the story charming and the illustrations beautiful.  When we have stories that have everyone works together and no one is the hero but all become the hero. And becoming friends even if you are not the same.

What I didn't like was the mice created a problem that has been going on for years.  Placing goldfish, which are an invasive species into a lake or pond.  (Click the hyperlink for article) You are probably thinking, but it's just a story.  Yes but I wouldn't want to give children or adults the idea that it is okay to put goldfish in lakes and ponds.
