Unexpected Guests

A funny, wonderfully unexpected adventure that lets children see the world from a mouse’s point of view.

Why I chose it

I chose this one for the little ones who love exploring, spotting tiny details and asking “what would happen if…?”

I love how completely it turns the usual story upside down — suddenly we are the strange creatures being investigated! The interactive pages and clever illustrations make this a book children can really explore, with plenty of surprises along the way. It was also shortlisted for Illustrator of the Year at the British Book Awards 2025.
