<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A fiftieth anniversary edition of one of the most important<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A 50th anniversary edition of one of the most important children's books of the 20th century<p></p>Caldecott Medalist David Small lovingly shows us the heart of Russell Hoban's classic. The mouse and his child are wind-up toys forever joined at the hands. But when their mechanism breaks they are discarded, separated from the doll house where they lived and the toy elephant that the child calls mother (much to her chagrin). Thus begins the suspenseful journey that is heartbreaking, harrowing, and ultimately joyful as the mice seek what seems at first to be impossible: independence (self-winding) and the way back home.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Russell Hoban's career spanned five decades in which he wrote more than sixty books, including such children's classics as <i>Bedtime for Frances</i> and <i>The Mouse and His Child</i>, adult fiction including <i>Riddley Walker</i> and <i>Turtle Diary</i>, and several collections of poetry and essays. <br/> David Small is the illustrator of many award-winning books, including <i>The Library</i>, the Caldecott Medal winner <i>So You Want to Be President?</i>, and the Caldecott Honor books <i>The Gardener</i> and <i>One Cool Friend</i>. He lives in Michigan with his wife, the writer Sarah Stewart, and an outdoor cat named Mabel.
