Chagrin. The Little Mouse and Other Stories

Félix & Charlotte Parent

What would you do if you woke up with a mouse living in your mouth?

For Chagrin, a big dog who likes naps, bad smells and being left alone, the answer is obvious: get her out!

Unfortunately, the little mouse has other plans. She has moved in, brought her furniture and turned Chagrin’s mouth into a surprisingly cosy home. And before long, Chagrin discovers that having someone around might not be so terrible after all.

Told across four charming stories, Chagrin. The Little Mouse and Other Stories follows the growing friendship between two wonderfully mismatched characters. Full of deadpan humor, eccentric details and genuine tenderness, it explores fears, solitude and companionship with a wonderfully light touch.

Funny, original and quietly moving, this is an illustrated story with a distinctive voice and plenty of appeal for both children and the adults reading with them.
