‘My heart leapt at [this] 1981 gem…a lovely story aiming to awaken in kids a passion for architecture, starring a female protagonist.’ Maria Popova, The Marginalin (formerly Brain Pickings)
‘Ms Mouse, very attentive to her customers (rabbit, pig, trout or even worm…) offers each time a different house, corresponding impeccably to each one’s desires and lifestyle. These timeless homes made a generation of small (and big!) children dream of becoming architects.’ Lili L’Archie, archi-serieux et archi-futile d’une archi-tecte
‘Meet my heroine, Ms Henrietta Mouse…If this book pops up…grab it. You won’t be disappointed, whatever your age.’ A Growing Obsession
‘[T]hrough the alchemical magic of the mouse-protagonist’s creativity, each dwelling was not only completely original but also perfectly and absolutely suited to its occupant, in defiance of orthodoxy…one might say that each house represents not just a life but also a lifestyle.’ Naomi Stead, Slate
