The Monkey and the Mouse is a lovely and lively children's story book. This is a tale of two very best friends who live high in the top of a huge tree which hangs far out over a big river. Come join the fun and adventures of Milford Monkey and Max Mouse. "The Monkey & The Mouse" is the first in the series "Grammy's Wonderful Stories" - Grammy is a wonderful old storyteller whose inspiration comes from the deep woods in the high mountains of every child's delightful imagination. Grammy tells us: I have written all my life for the little ones, my children, my grandchildren, and everyone else's children. All of Grammy's stories teach a life lesson in a most adventurous, exciting, and fun way. They are always written with love and care. Anyone who has ever read my stories has loved them, no matter their age. They are truly stories for everyone, reminders of the magic and the good in the world. Readers say: Just awesome! Teaches and makes you giggle at the same time... Adorable...

“I can’t do it.” As a caregiver of young children, you have probably heard this phrase before. As a parent, grandparent, and teacher, one of my biggest challenges has been, finding ways to inspire children to believe that they can do it! The Monkey and the Mouse is a delightful, open-ended story in which the monkey believes she can’t do things, and is unwilling to try. The mouse believes that she can do things, and is willing to try. I chose these two familiar animals because of their size difference. Size doesn’t matter, attitude does. Look closely at the mouse’s feet, she is disabled. Disabilities don’t mean the inability to do things. This book is part one of a two-part book. The story is open-ended, with reinforcement activities. The young reader is asked to use their imagination and think of something that each animal can try to do to accomplish the goal. If you are searching for tools to motivate young children to believe in themselves and become courageous enough to try new things, I believe that this book will be invaluable to you.
