Description
Isaiah is a little blue mouse and this is his story to share. In the beginning, he is scared and alone after escaping a mysterious lab. Isaiah can read and write. He can also talk to humans! Now he must search for his mouse family. Follow his adventure with all the trials and tribulations that entails. When he meets a lonely human girl named Hailey, they learn about friendship across barriers. Authored by the famous James Patterson (and Chris Grabenstein), with a good amount of black and white illustrations by Joe Sutfin, this is a charming story that is sure to please. There are several references to God and all creatures great and small, but this is not what I would call a “religious" storybook. ~Sara
Publisher's Description of Word of Mouse
A very special mouse escapes from a lab to find his missing family in this charming story of survival, determination, and the power of friendship.
What makes Isaiah so unique? First, his fur is as blue as the sky -- which until recently was something he'd never seen, but had read all about. That's right: Isaiah can read and write. He can also talk to humans . . . if any of them are willing to listen!
After a dramatic escape from a mysterious laboratory, Isaiah is separated from his "mischief" (which is the word for a mouse family) and has to survive in the dangerous outdoors, and hopefully find his missing family. But in a world of cruel cats, hungry owls, and terrified people, it's hard for a young, lone mouse to make it alone. When he meets an equally unusual and lonely human girl named Hailey, the two soon learn that true friendship can transcend all barriers.
