About the Book
Field mouse Mousetta is so painfully shy she would rather hide under a bucket than be seen by her fellow mice, but when foxes attack the fieldhouse Mousetta realizes she must turn her fear into fearlessness if she wants to save the others.Book Synopsis
A shy young mouse ventures outside her comfort zone in this sweet picture book classic in the making from the beloved author and illustrator of Tacky the Penguin. Mousetta has never felt comfortable in her own fur. She likes to stay quiet and hidden, never brave enough to play with the other field mouse children who always seem to be having fun. The only way Mousetta can venture outside is by wearing a bucket on her head so she doesn't have to worry about meeting anyone new. But when foxes attack and the mice have to take cover, Bucket Head may be just what the others need--if only she can muster the courage to charge forward!Review Quotes
"Lester's comic timing is right on cue, and Munsinger's watercolors against bright white pages use lots of smaller panels to capture each moment of the story with humor and fun. This is a great read-aloud with lots of different opportunities for discussion."--Horn Book Magazine
"This cute, humorous story, promoting the idea that shyness isn't a flaw, could embolden skittish youngsters . . . The adorable watercolor illustrations are lively; the murine characters are full of personality. Sweet and reassuring as a self-esteem booster."-- "Kirkus Reviews"
