Una historia de amistad entre una librera y un ratón con mucha hambre de historias.

Por primera vez, siente su estómago lleno. La librera y el ratón llegan a un acuerdo: ella le leerá historias y él la ayudará en la librería.

Review Quotes

ILBA Honorable Mention for Inspirational Children's Picture Books in Spanish.

This book is more than just a story about a mouse in a bookstore; it is a tribute to the magic of libraries and bookstores, and the communities they foster. It emphasizes the idea that fulfillment and contentment often come from the most unexpected sources - in this case, the pages of a book and the companionship found in a shared love for stories - Mr Alex's Bookshelf.
