Brenna MaloneyThis Is Mouse - An Adventure in Sewing: Make Mouse & Friends • Travel with Them from Africa to Outer Space

I like that this book still had the original sewing pattern attached with the book. I can now make the mice with my grand-daughters. Thank you for such a great deal.

Whenever anyone gives this book anything less than a 5 star review it is voted "unhelpful". The 5 star reviews made me think that my daughters and I could make this mouse and have great adventures with him. I am on my third time trying to make the mouse. The chest doesn't line up right with the body/head piece and the ears are a little too large and bulky and make it difficult to sew the head right. All three of my mice are not up to my standards. I sew regularly. I am not unfamiliar with sewing terms and patterns.The basic idea of the book is so fun. We were all so excited about it. My kids are begging for me to keep trying or to find someone who I could pay to make this mouse for us. Before attempting to make the mouse I was planning to buy this book as a gift for friends with kids who are excited to sew. Until I am able to make a mouse though I won't be spreading frustration.

It wasn't easy....... But after many frustrating hours we finally got it done. Now the fun begins, Mouse can go on adventures :-) have to say the accessories are easier to make than Mouse.

(note: my daughter wrote this review since it's her book)My Grandma and Papa gave me this book for Christmas. It teaches you how to sew a mouse, and gear for it (the gear is:a hat, a satchel, and jungle animals for the jungle; A scarf, earmuffs, bunnies, arctic animals, and a igloo for the south pole; And space gear, a rocket, aliens and their house! It is cool.)The book has easy to follow step-by-step instructions, and funny wording, I especially liked that the author didn’t say that you had to ask a grown up to help with the hot glue gun because I know how to use it, (she did say that you should be careful). I made the mouse and it was soooooo fun. The finished product is cute.

My first book was missing the patterns. I informed the dealer and they promptly got back to me. Another book was immediately sent to me and I am so happy with the honesty.

I love this book. I got it to teach adventure play with my granddaughter. The instructions are easy to follow and I love the author sence of humor. I have never seen a book wrote quite like this. I am so happy i found it.

I was hoping this book would contain a few fun "I can sew" projects for my granddaughter and me. Unfortunately, unless I greatly increase the pattern sizes and make a few other adjustments, Mouse is still a little to complicated for an 8 year old.

Outstanding fun how to book for Grandma to share sewing with Granddaughter , and later, grandson wanted to sew one too.
