About this listen

In a cozy little home at the bottom of the Nottlegum’s garden, two adventurous young mice are growing up. Full of delicious delights and exciting discoveries, the garden is the perfect place to play and explore. But it’s not without danger. If they’re going to stay safe from an ominous presence and hidden dangers, they must heed wise advice and learn diligence.

What a gorgeous portrayal of the world through the eyes of the tiniest mice - my kids (7 and 4) were enchanted and it was the loveliest story for a long drive. There was peace in our car for the whole time, which is almost unheard of! We all love it 😊

Beautifully imagery and storytelling!

My 6 and 4 year olds think this book is epic! My eldest laughed so hard when the mice called the human's house a 'nest'!
When I put it on for the third time, he said "Can you please start it at Chapter 11 because it keeps stopping at Chapter 10 and I love it so much, I just want to listen to the rest!"
So I had to break the news that chapter 10 was the end of the book. But we are pleased to hear that there is a second book coming!
A very professionally produced story with such rich content that entertains, educates, teaches wholesome lessons and relaxes little ones! I couldn't recommend more highly!

Epic story for young kids

I've been blown away how many times our kids (ages 4 and 6) have requested to listen to this as their bedtime audiobook! They ask for it again and again. It's such a sweet and innocent story, with the perfect amount of adventure for our young children. I love that Gweneth naturally weaves language development into the story, I feel like they're learning while they listen. There are some great life lessons in it too. We are all excited for the next book to come out!

Perfect story for kids to fall asleep listening to
