Before you even open this book, show your child the fascinating cover picture and talk about it - full of interesting detail. Professor Frank Mouse is very clever and can make almost anything. He looks out of his window and longs to join in as he sees all the other creatures working together, but he is very shy. So, he decides to make himself his very own friend - but when Frank leaves Teddy on his own, teddy causes havoc and Frank sends him out............. But this is a story about true friendship, so it ends happily. Just look at Louise's illustrations - they are enthralling and full of the most wonderful touches of humour. A lovely book to share.
