Mouse's Wood

A Story Puzzle

By Alice Melvin
Discover a year of woodland wonder as Mouse journeys through the changing 
seasons in this 12-piece puzzle by Alice Melvin.

• Screen-free fun for young puzzlers: develop sequencing and spatial skills while keeping little hands (and minds) busy.
• A natural companion to the Mouse’s Wood book: the perfect follow-up for existing fans or a charming entry for newcomers to Mouse’s world.

Journey through the changing seasons with this exquisitely illustrated, double-sided story puzzle from acclaimed author-illustrator Alice Melvin. When assembled, the twelve puzzle pieces form a continuous ring-shaped illustration that captures a year in nature while celebrating slow living. On the reverse of each piece, puzzlers will find the corresponding month and season, plants and animals to spot, and a section of Mouse’s story – making this the perfect storytelling and learning tool for ages 2+. The box includes a double-sided poster featuring a sprawling tree as it transitions through the four seasons. The scene teems with life, from fragrant honeysuckle growing beneath the tree in summer to blue tits circling a bird feeder in winter. Mouse can be spotted enjoying different activities throughout the year, from building a ‘snowmouse’ to picnicking, reading a book and swinging from a branch. On the reverse, the poster features ‘Mouse’s Nature Guide’, with beautifully drawn animals, plants and fungi to spot each month – on the jigsaw or when young puzzlers are out exploring nature. The poster folds down to the perfect pocket size, so parents can slip it into a jacket before heading out for a walk.
