How Green was my Mouse


This book is about a man called Mr Muffin who is a farmer but not any ordinary farmer but a mouse farmer. He had a robot stuffed dog which barks and growls at anyone who tries to get into the barn that the mice are in. One day his dog starts barking so he goes to check out what has happened. The door was wide open so he went inside. There standing in the corner next to all the different coloured mice was a lady with blond hair as pretty as can be. It all ended up that she bought two mice, one blue one and one pink one after talking a very long time to Mr Muffin. Anyway Merry and Mr Muffin got to know each other and got married. While Merry was thinking about all the different coloured mice she had always wanted, she thought about a green one. She raced outside to where Mr Muffin was and she said "You know how I have always wanted a green mouse, well I know how we can breed one."
"But it's impossible to breed a green mouse, "said Mr Muffin.
"Not if we put a male blue one with a yellow female. They will give birth to green babies. So they tried that and. one day Merry went in to check the babies. She raced out to Mr Muffin and said, "Some of the babies" colour is blueish green."
He said, "what about the other one"
"It's all green," replied Merry. They both rushed inside to see the mouse and she was right. So they entered him into the mouse competition. They named him Adam. He won the competition. He died a couple of weeks after so Mr Muffin stuffed him and put him on the mantelpiece for his new born baby Cherry to look at when she was older .
This is a very good book written by Dick King-Smith
