review 1: Adorable and winsome, from beginning to end, about a mouse who solves mysteries. I was somewhat unsure that Lu (3 years old) would follow the details well enough to really get what was going on, but she seemed to, and she LOVED the intricate illustrations and really spent a lot of time sussing out what was going on in each picture. It's a solid re-read for her, because she likes going back to the pictures and being able to tell what they are indicating for the eventual resolution of each mystery.
review 2: Born in a box designed for cheese, Hermelin makes his home in the attic of 33 Offley Street. The residents are very busy individuals, and Hermelin decides to put his wits to work in solving several small mysteries for the human inhabitants of the building. ... moreHe sees notices seeking lost objects and pets, and proceeds to quickly type out notes informing their owners of their whereabouts. The grateful residents throw a party in his honor, hoping to meet this wonderful detective, but only one of them isn't afraid of mice. As do all books by this author, this one tugs determinedly at the heartstrings, reminding readers that everyone seeks love, acceptance, and a home of his/her own. It's cool to see Hermelin typing up those messages and figuring out what everyone is up to. less
