Haunted House, Haunted Mouse

Buy the Book!

Sour balls! Gumdrops! Chocolate! Mouse is stunned as he watches goblins and skeletons and ghosts collect candy. He wants to go trick-or-treating too, so when the little bitty ghost drops her sack, Mouse scrambles inside. Now he's in for a harrowing Halloween adventure!

"Cox keeps readers turning pages with fast-paced action in her descriptive text." --Kirkus Reviews

"Children who enjoyed Cinco de Mouse-O! and One is a Feast for Mouse will welcome this Halloween addition to the Mouse adventures." --Chicago Examiner

"Mouse, with his Rachel Maddow-style eyeglasses, striped shirt, and oversize ears, is a charming guide to this richly detailed world."--Publishers Weekly
