A Mouse's Tale — Pamela Johnson

A tiny mouse longs to go to sea. But what type of boat would suit a small but adventuresome mouse? She considers all types of boats and finally settles on one she makes herself. “This small picture book is just the right size to do justice to the diminutive tale, and the delightful colored-pencil illustrations are realistically detailed even while portraying the fantastical voyage.”-School Library Journal
