Description
Play a game of hide-and-squeak with all of London's mice.
They're flocking to the famous sights, so make sure you look twice!
A stripy cat and Sherlock Mouse peep out of every page
And every building's packed with mice: the city is their stage!
It's a busy morning and all across London mice dressed in top hats and smart overcoats are making their way to work by bus, by tube and by train. The mice of Parliament are at work baking cakes and fishing to feed fat cats who are arriving in a hot air balloon, while artistic mice perform surreal magic tricks inside Tate Modern. The Gherkin's businessmice are busily practising five-pin bowling, while over at the Cheesegrater, mice young and old enjoy hydrosliding through twelve storeys of watery fun! Every page is teeming with surprises and invites children to play 'hide-and-squeak' with a black-and-white cat, a mouse in a bee costume and a mysterious wrapped gift hidden on every page. You'll never see London in the same way again!
A luxurious seek-and-find book of unparalleled charm
