Picture book.
Mr. Postmouse loads up his wagon with packages and goes from house to house to deliver them.
As he visits penguins in their igloo, an octopus under the ocean, and bats in
their cave, each page shows a wonderful cross-section of the animal’s home, full
of intricate details and visual jokes. For example, the bats have an upside
down painting hanging on their wall, the penguins have a bathtub full of ice, the
bear has a pipe connecting the beehive on his roof to his honeypot, and there
are “wanted” posters for the masked magpie who has filched all the shiny
things. Parents and children will enjoy poring over these pages again and
again.
