Story Behind The Book
It has been some thrilling ride since I introduced Carlo the mouse to the world. As my grandpa would say, “Every vegetable has its time.” So does this story. It must find its readers, some of them far away from Florida and some of them next to my home. And as my young fan, Sergei from Moscow, wrote in his story, may the story of Carlo the mouse never end.

The colorful graphics, exaggerated facial expressions, and attention to detail perfectly complement the text, and will be certain to hold your little one's attention, whether you are reading the story to them or they are reading it themselves. As with all her previous stories, she has seamlessly merged an engaging tale with beautiful graphics, and the result is ideally suited to young readers and pre-readers. Mrs. D. promises several more episodes in Carlo's story, so your youngsters will be able to follow Carlo's upcoming adventures as they continue to advance their own reading skills. I heartily recommend inviting Carlo the Mouse into your children's library.</span></p>
