Publisher Description
*AUDIO ENHANCED EDITION WITH READ-ALOUD AUDIO, MUSIC, AND TEXT HIGHLIGHTING*
It’s Mouse’s first day at Miss Moon’s Moonlight School for all the small creatures of the night, but she is VERY shy – too shy even to say hello. Luckily, with help from Miss Moon and her new friends Bat, Cat and Owl, a game of hide-and-seek makes Mouse feel right at home.
From the Roald Dahl Funny Prize-shortlisted author of The Baby That Roared, this gentle, reassuring tale is perfect for all little ones who are about to start school.
“Simon Puttock's Mouse's First Night at Moonlight School takes a reassuring look at feeling shy on the first day in the classroom … Ali Pye's dreamy illustrations are as appealing as the child-head teacher Miss Moon, who sports a witch's hat but is otherwise a model of affectionate understanding.”

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A young witch holds court at Miss Moon's Moonlight School, which is indeed held under the glow of an enormous full moon that hangs in a pale night sky. Miss Moon's wide-eyed students Owl, Bat, and Cat promptly take their seats, but shy Mouse hides behind a curtain. To boost Mouse's confidence, Miss Moon suggests that they play hide-and-seek, letting Mouse's skills shine. Combining loose, crayonlike lines with moody blocks of color, Pye's digital illustrations inject humor into the story as Miss Moon easily tracks down Owl, Bat, and Cat, while Mouse finds a winning hiding spot (Miss Moon's hat). Beneath the only-slightly-spooky trappings, it's a sweet and gentle exploration of first-day jitters. Ages 3 7.
