Synopsis
Vibrant artwork and a quick, compelling story will entrance little readers of this die-cut novelty book from an award-winning author and illustrator.
With his trademark glowing hues, simple shapes, and clever die-cut designs, the innovative Petr Horácek creates a new animal tale perfect for preschoolers. In RUN, MOUSE, RUN!, the tiny protagonist does just that — over the chair, across the table, and through a shoe. What could this little mouse be running away from?

Everyday escapades rise to the extraordinary with eye-catching pictures and clever cutouts in these two board books. A pint-size drama unfolds as the little gray hero of Run, Mouse, Run! scurries "across the table, up the cup" and, whew, into his hole before a cat pounces. In the equally mesmerizing Bird, Fly High, a mama bird brings home a worm for her cheeping babies, who await their breakfast behind a birdhouse's cut-out entrance. (ages Birth to 2)
