I’m Jennifer Dovey, author of ‘The Clever Little Mouse.’
I wrote this story as I love to write and I wanted to make a story that I thought would be amusing for children.
I have worked as a High School English teacher on and off since 2001 and as a freelance writer helping clients with all sorts of projects across a wide range of genres.
‘The Clever Little Mouse’ is my first children’s book designed for readers from 4 to 7 years of age.
‘The Clever Little Mouse’ centers on the quest of a little pet mouse who desires to make friends with the goofy dog and the grumpy cat she lives with.
The mouse is on a mission to make her life a bit more comfortable as she gets chased by the dog and she’s fearful that the cat might eat her.
The dog is very messy and shaggy (he can barely see and even swallows flies when he eats) and the cat is cranky because she is hairless and her skin burns in summer and freezes in winter.
For this reason, the mouse comes up with a plan to appease them both by using the excess fur from the dog to make clothes for the cat.
Mouse believes her troubles will be over as long as she solves the problems of the dog and the cat. However, things don’t always go quite according to plan and on the last page of the story, Mouse comes to realize that perhaps her living situation isn’t going to be as comfortable as she envisioned!
