A Mouse Called Miika

Product Information

That night, when all his brothers and sisters were sound asleep, he quietly crept over to his snoring mum and stared at the mushroom she was hugging in her sleep. And I did! I mean, for one this is about a mouse and I just love mice! For two, despite this taking place in summer, this is a Christmas village and you can just feel the Christmas magic ooze everywhere. For three, I do love a good book about self-discovery and finding yourself. Ratatouille meets Roald Dahl in the funny and fantastical story of a determined mouse on a mission to procure the world's tastiest cheese. From the author of A Boy Called Christmas–now a Netflix movie starring Kristen Wiig, Maggie Smith and Henry Lawfull!

So he just sat there, staring at the mushroom in front of him, and remembered his early life, when he lived in a dark and damp tree hole. . . . Bei mir ist es nun schon wieder eine ganze Weile her, dass ich die dreibändige Weihnachtsserie von Matt Haig gelesen und gehört habe und obwohl meine Erinnerungen an die genauen Ereignisse inzwischen nicht mehr die frischesten sind, habe ich völlig problemlos in „Eine Weihnachtsmaus namens Miika“ hineingefunden. Meinem Empfinden nach kann man das Buch auch ohne jegliche Vorkenntnisse lesen bzw. hören. Es hängt zwar mit der eigentlichen Reihe zusammen, erzählt aber dennoch eine eigenständige und in sich abgeschlossene Geschichte. I would highly recommend this lovely book full of magic, trolls, tons of yummy cheese, elves, and self-discovery to all! Ratatouille meets Roald Dahl in the funny and fantastical story of a determined mouse on a mission to procure the world's tastiest cheese. From the author of A Boy Called Christmas– now a Netflix movie starring Kristen Wiig, Maggie Smith and Henry Lawfull!Then he overheard his sister Yala talking to one of his brothers about something called the World Outside. And why is that, Miika?” asked the other mouse, who had mud on her fur and frost on her whiskers. The one whose name was Bridget the Brave. Well, really she was just called Bridget, but she always made Miika (and everyone else) call her Bridget the Brave. Because she was that sort of mouse. A mouse with attitude. His mum--Ulla--had less of an excuse because she was, at least, alive. But she was very, very, very tired. One of the mice was called Miika. He was the less scruffy of the two, but still a little bit scruffy. The brown fur on his chest and tummy was often dotted with mushroom crumbs. Unlike his friend, Miika liked the elves, the reindeer, and the pixies of Elfhelm.

In this world, little brother, it is best to care only about yourself. As soon as you start caring about others, you have to deal with all sorts of problems. So head for the cheese whenever you can. If you find enough cheese to live on, you will never--and I repeat, NEVER--want for anything else. That is as good as life gets.” When Nikolas left the only home he had ever known, it was a mouse named Miika who kept him company, and it was Miika who accompanied him on his journey to the Far North, in search of his father. But before the events of A Boy Called Christmas , this little mouse was the hero of his own story. And then they were off. Galloping across the snowy field, which even in the middle of summer was as white and fluffy as a beard. I liked the drawings in the book, the houses and the elves. I will read it to my little sisters. AD Then one day he found a little house in the woods. A human house. Where a woodcutter lived with his son, Nikolas.Sorry . . . sorry . . . sorry . . . oh . . . so sorry!” he said as everyone tutted and squeaked and grumbled and ouched at him.
