Reviews"Like Doris Burn's 1965 classic 'Andrew Henry's Meadow,' this picture book plays to the special fondness children have for imagining the neat features they'd incorporate were they to build houses of their own." --Meghan Cox Gurdon, Wall Street Journal "There is a lot of creativity happening in this book...every time you look at the page you see something new...it's a marvelous find, beautifully illustrated." -- Betsy Bird, Fuse 8 "Each dwelling is lovingly furnished down to the tiniest detail." -- The New York Times "Each house represents not just a life but also a lifestyle." -- Slate, "Each dwelling is lovingly furnished down to the tiniest detail." -- The New York Times "Each house represents not just a life but also a lifestyle." -- Slate

SynopsisEvery animal in the forest can have a home they love with the help of Ms. Mouse in this whimsical and educational book about design and architecture. Henrietta is a world-famous architect, and the only mouse in the world who knows what makes a squirrel or a rabbit, a caterpillar or a frog feel at home. A dreamer, a designer, an artist, and a creator, Henrietta works at her drawing board to imagine the perfect home for each of her friends, be they woodland, water, subterranean or winged creatures. With clever features, like a trapdoor for Mole or a telescope platform for Owl, and the ideal placement, like high in a pine for Squirrel or inside a pear for Caterpillar, Henrietta Mouse's houses are both practical and beautiful--in short, ingenious! George Mendoza's Need a House? Call Ms. Mouse! is as inspiring today as when it was first published in 1981, and Doris Susan Smith's illustrations of this hard-working female protagonist and her fantastical designs and architectural marvels will captivate young readers.
