Weight: 10.5 ounces. Age Level: 4 - 9 years. First Edition (1964); Ninth Printing (1971). Hardback with DJ. One of my all-time favorite illustrated books, first when I was a child I used to devour it in the library. I always knew exactly where this book was in the library. Now as a father, I read it to my little ones who love it too. Beautiful watercolor illustrations to go with a great story: when Halloween is past, some children place a carved pumpkin at the edge of the woods hoping a mouse will make a home inside it.. Mousekins,does find it and rides out the cold months in the comforts of his jack-o-lantern. Very sweet story and lovely watercolor illustrations. I love the whole Mousekin series, but this one is the finest of them all. It brings back so many warm childhood memories.
