Magnificently Illustrated New Children's Book 7 Oct 2004
By Erika Sorocco - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Library Binding
Famed illustrator and author Hilary Knight was surprised when he found mice in his studio. However, to accomodate his new furry friends he began designing a special outdoor home for them. The two mice were quite unique. Maude, was an expert needle-mouse, who had quite an eye for design; and Max, a carpenter-mouse, had quite a way with a hammer. Both mice shared a very good eye for shiny objects that could be of use to them, and that's where Hilary Knight got the idea for this book.

I have been a fan of Hilary Knight since the first time I laid eyes on his illustrations for Kay Thompson's ELOISE series, so I just knew that I had to have this book. Mr. Knight's wonderful watercolor illustrations of two enterprising mice during the Christmas season, are utterly remarkable, and the adorable little daily notations by Maude the mouse couldn't be cuter. This is a must have book for the holiday season, especially for those who enjoy breathtaking illustrations, much like the ones found in this book.

Reading this book has become a Christmas tradition for my girl and I. The illustrations are detailed and magical. The idea is heart-warming. The spirit of giving meaningfully rather than simply giving expensively is captured well. Lovely book and highly recommended.
