The Tiny Mouse

Chosen a Best Children's Book, 2013 by Kirkus Reviews! Read the review here. Janis' first children's book, with illustrations by the famed duo of Dieter & Ingrid Schubert, The Tiny Mouse follows the adventures of a wealthy mouse who runs away to sea because he's bored. Unfortunately, he becomes violently seasick and makes a surprising discovery that forces him to jump overboard and swim to shore. From this adventure, he learns that it's better to be a whole mouse at home than someone's dinner at sea. This book and CD set has Janis Ian singing "The Tiny Mouse" song with a full band, and also a karaoke version for singalong fun. A transcription for piano and guitar is also included. Ingrid and Dieter Schubert, creators of The Umbrella and many other picture books, give the tiny mouse his dapper and affable appearance and bring his perilous adventures to life with plenty of sly humor.  This is an absolutely gorgeous large hardback book, with stunning illustrations throughout. Perfect
