Description
Martha Stewart Living alumnae Jodi Levine and Margaret McCartney team up to create a beautiful and unique craft book that also tells the story of Mouse and his adventures in Mousetown. Welcome to Mousetown! In this inventive craft book, kids follow Mouse through his day in Mousetown, from getting ready to traveling to work, closing shop, grocery shopping, party prep, and throwing a surprise party for his friend Ginger. There are over 30 activities throughout the book that use recycled materials to recreate the story's scenes so kids can follow along or make new stories set in Mousetown with Mouse and friends. Mousetown includes:
- Photographic illustrations of Mouse's bakery, house, grocery store, and other town elements, with many crafted and recycled elements
- Instructions for recreating all of the elements of Mousetown
- Photographic glossary of tools and materials
