I love a good children's book, especially when the author incorporates teachable moments in fun ways. Moo Doodle sounds like quite the character too; a dreamer and doer that isn't afraid to wander and try new things - a great combination. I must say, you write brilliantly well, thanks for the recommendation.

Aww, well thanks for the super sweet words of feedback and support! I, too, love a children’s book that features a story centered around a determined dreamer. And while Moe may be small, he’s one mighty mouse! 🐀

This tale sounds very familiar. It's so natural to want to experience something different as well as to seek distraction rather than turn back to something we once left behind, whether it's because it might mean we were wrong or we just can't see ourselves engaging in it again. The illustration sounds fantastic! Thanks for your review.

Most definitely and you make several excellent points! Even though the bustling big city challenged Moe with a lot of unknowns, he still preferred facing those uncertainties (over returning to the small and limited existence he knew before). And the illustrations were so whimsical and grand! It was a super cute book, so thank you for checking it out. 🐭

I think I would love reading this book. The rhymes, the drawing (coca-cola campfires), the vocabulary would make it a great bedtime story. Thank you for your wonderful review!

The illustrations were so creative and detailed, and the little mouse was beyond confident and determined! It was a darling children’s book that I’d highly recommend. Thank you for stopping by to read and comment! 🐁

So... I totally love rodents too!! They have the tiniest little hands, and they’re much smarter and more inquisitive than most people give them credit for. 🐀 In this book, Moe Doodle is definitely a top-notch specimen, and he encourages readers to approach the big, wide world with confidence! Thank you for scurrying by to check this one out. 🐁

This lovely book reminds me of Ratatouille but with more dancing instead of just cooking.
I wish there's a cover so we can see how the characters look like.
Thank you for writing an enthusiastic review!

I loved that culinary rat film! And since cooking and dancing often go together, this creative title would make an excellent companion piece to Ratatouille. Oh and there is an available cover. Just click ➡️ View: on Bookshelves ⬅️ at the bottom of my review. I don’t know why the cover art didn’t show up as an imbedded thumbnail image like it should have, but it’s super cute!

Wow! A story about a country mouse moving to the city to take dance lessons? Sign me up! This sounds like an adorable and fun story for kids and adults who are in-touch with their inner child. You made a great suggestion to make salsa while learning the salsa dance!

Thank you so much for such an entertaining review! 🐀🐾💃🏻🕺🏾😃
