Description

Barnaby is an ordinary, small brown mouse who lives a quiet life beneath the floorboards of a busy farmhouse. There’s just one tiny problem that sets Barnaby apart from all his squeaking brothers and sisters—whenever he opens his mouth to say hello, out pops a loud, cheerful BARK! Mice Don’t Bark, brought to life by the brilliant team at Burning Books Ltd, is a wonderfully playful, beautifully written children’s picture book about celebrating what makes you unique.

Young readers will follow Barnaby as he tries his best to find out why his voice is so different, leading to a series of hilarious misunderstandings with the farmyard cat, the cows, and the family dog. With rhythmic, engaging prose and delightful characters, this story stands out for its creativity, making it a fantastic choice for bedtime reading, early literacy development, and teaching children to love themselves exactly as they are.

• Positive Identity Message: A gentle, comforting theme centered on self-acceptance, building confidence, and embracing your individual traits.
