Alice Melvin’s award-winning Mouse is back for another mindful adventure in nature.

Join Mouse on his summer holiday by the seaside. Each day brings new excitement, from sandcastles on the beach to ice creams on the promenade, sunbathing on the sand dunes to looking for treasures amongst the rock pools! Beautifully detailed illustrations feature many plants and animals to identify, and the atmospheric rhyming text sets the scene for this perfect summer holiday.

The book also features a nature guide with fascinating facts about the different habitats and wildlife that Mouse has come across.
