" When Nelly reads a description of herself in a book, she is convinced that she is a mouse. After all she is grey, has big ears and a thin tail. When she meets some mice, the confusion only grows in this delightfully funny tale about mixed messages and taking everything you read in books just a little too literally."

Biographisches: " Pippa Goodhart is the author of many books for children, including Three Little Ghosties and Arthur's Tractor for Bloomsbury. She lives in Leicester." Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: May 14, 2012 “ooks should always have pictures” is the Wildean moral of this sweet comedy sketch of a book, and it’s clear why: a pictureless tome entitled Big Book of Knowledge persuades an elephant named Little Nelly that she’s a mouse (“Mice have big ears. Mice have skinny tails”). Luckily, Nelly collides with an understanding family of real mice (she attempts to sleep in a hole in a wall) that gently nudges her away from her false syllogism and back to her own species—although it is necessary to indulge in some subterfuge (the mice alter a zoo’s “Elephants” sign to read “Zoo Mice”). Astute readers will note that, given British illustrator Rowland’s whimsical rendering style, Little Nelly kind of has a point: both the mice and the elephant share the same sturdy bread-loaf body, and the differences between many of their appendages are simply a matter of scale. However, the slyly funny illustrations and Goodhart’s (Three Little Ghosties) succinct, poker-faced prose make an important point: you can correct a friend’s wrongheaded thinking without making him or her feel foolish. Ages 4–8. "
