Have you ever taken a peek inside a rabbit’s toilet or entered the house of a crocodile? Join Mr Postmouse on his daily rounds and visit the extraordinary homes of Mr Bear, Señor Snake, Madam Dung Fly, the Penguins and many other animals.
It’s a windy, autumn day when a little dog discovers a bright red umbrella in the garden. The umbrella, like a magic carpet, whirls him up into the air and sails him across the world, over continents and oceans, the tropics and polar regions ...
You’ll find something new amongst the fun and colourful illustrations each time you help our mouse-hero make his deliveries.
A wonderful wordless picture book that tells a thousand stories
“This is a picture book children (and adults) will love to pore over again and again; it’s full of hidden pictorial jokes. The more you look, the more you see!”
“Yet again Book Island has identified an imaginative European treasure!”
