Little Mouse’s Big Book of Beasts by Emily Gravett - ADVISABLE

Gravett, Emily  Little Mouse’s Big Book of Beasts.  PICTURE BOOK.  Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2016.  $17.99. Content: PG.  

Pictures and text depicting different ways a mouse can be eaten by various beasts. Short poetic entries depicting the many beasts featured in the life of a mouse. 

Little mouse keeps a poetic scrapbook of sorts containing all the things that frighten him or may potentially eat him.  Beautifully illustrated and packed with lots of extras including origami patterns and mini graphic novels. I love the style with ripped and glued pages, margin notes and pictures.  Great book but a bit delicate for a public library, probably best for a private home.
