# Paper Mice - Hardcover

by **Megan Wagner Lloyd** (Author), **Phoebe Wahl** (Illustrator)

**A Bank Street Best Book of the Year**

**"Perfect for storytime, and with so much to explore on each page, a one-on-one read is also a must." --_School Library Journal_**  
**"A sweet depiction of companionship and creature comforts." --_Publishers Weekly_**

**It's the middle of the night, and two paper mice find adventure--and each other--as they explore their new home in this beautifully written, stunningly illustrated story of friendship.**

With a _snip_ and a _clip_, two paper mice are made. They are given names: Della and Ralph. Each alone, they explore their new house in the dark. Della dashes up the stairs; Ralph skitters through the dining room. There is so much to see and so much to discover

But a big, dark house can be scary for those so small, until they find...each other.

Beautiful, cut-paper illustrations bring to life this lyrical story of adventure and friendship.
