Little Mouse Saves the Day

A Good Housekeeping Best Kids’ Book of 2025! What’s that in the closet—a robber? A monster? A CAT!? This book about overcoming fears is the highly anticipated follow-up to Eisner award-winning author Jeff Smith's Little Mouse Gets Ready and is both a perfect read-aloud and a book that kids can begin to read on their own. In Eisner Award-winning author Jeff Smith’s Little Mouse Gets Ready, the plucky, pint-sized hero triumphed over buttons and tail holes and the tricky problem of getting dressed. His adventures continue in Little Mouse Saves the Day, when he returns to face his biggest challenge yet: bedtime, an open closet door, and the mysterious shadow within. It could be anything…and there’s only one way to know for sure.
