Milton the Mouse - Paperback
by Janice E. Kirk (Author)
A chase, a ride, a chase and hide, and Milton the mouse lands in new territory: the Stewart household. The wily escape artist has the run of the house until one fateful night when he is caught. What do you do with a mouse that hitches a ride home from a camping trip? Feed it? Turn it loose in a strange landscape? Will Milton be happy in captivity? The children give him a cage, a nest, a wheel, and water. Matt plays Beethoven on the piano for him, and Kathleen composes a song about him. "O fie my wandering mouse, how thou dost stray" is all that Dad will say. Milton is content until one day the wild life beckons again, and he escapes. How will the children find him? Will they discover Milton's secret?
A lifetime of camping and sketching the American West is inspiration for artist and author Janice E. Kirk. She wrote The Christmas Redwood, A Forest Parable; The Road to Beaver Park: Painting, Perception, and Pilgrimage; Cherish the Earth, the Environment and Scripture; and she illustrated Wild Edible Plants of Western North America (by Donald R. Kirk). Teacher of art, language arts, and music (including voice at Simpson University in Redding, California), she hopes readers will enjoy nature's wonders every day.
