Livingston Mouse, by: Pamela Duncan Edwards and illustrated by: Henry Cole, is a wonderfull book for childre of all ages. When I say "children of all ages", I mean if you are form the age of 0 to 100, this book is for you!
Livingston Mouse was an explorer...This young mouse is searching for China, because it's the "greatest" place in the world to live. Along the way he finds many places that he thinks are China, he soon realizes that each new place is far form being China. But Livingston never once gave up on his search!
The cupboard with the click bettle and the argumentive cockroaches, the tall shoe with its "nasty, musty, human smell". Then there's the picnic basket with its hot sauce and the cage with its lovely cheese, where he alomst lost his tail! Finally there's the light pole that stings his eyes...Livingston went through all taht before he found what he sat out to find.
I wish I keep on, never stop looking for what I'm after. To be able to stick with something to the very end! If I had been that mouse I would have given up after the shoe! Good thing the author picked Livingston to be the hero instead of me!
Just something for you to think about. ttul peoples.
