The Mouse Mansion

 
I couldn't resist this book in the bookstore.
Two tiny mice were staring at me from the cover
They are called Sam & Julia
Karina Schaapman is the author and creator of this book
   She made the scenery of the book herself 
The mouse mansion is made out of cardboard boxes
and papier-mache and all kinds of waste material.
The mansion counts more than a hundred rooms, alleys and outdoor spaces.
I think it's absolutely adorable!

The story is about best friends Julia and Sam, two mice.
They live in the mouse mansion, a world in itself.  
Julia lives on the sixt floor mid back.
She lives there with her mother in very very small room.
They sleep together in a bed. Julia is super curious and opinionated.
She doesn't like boring and as soon as she is bored she goes outside.
On adventure. With her friend Sam.
 Sam lives in the mid front side of the mouse mansion.
He lives there with his father, mother, brothers and sisters.
He has two grandpa s, two grannies, a few aunts and an uncle.
Sam is super, super shy and obedient. 
Together with Julia he does things he otherwise would never dare.
What Sam has too much, Julia has too little and vice versa.

I'm not sure if there's an English version of the book?
However there is a The Mouse Mansion blog
I'm off now to read more mice adventures...
Have a lovely evening.

Dit is echt zo'n boek wat je gewoonweg MOET hebben .
Vooral omdat ik zeker alzo'n 500 muisjes gemaakt heb in de loop der jaren .

What an amazing little mouse house, such an achievement. Would it be wrong of me to what to buy that book so I can model my own home on theirs! (I want to - it's so much nicer than where I live.)
