About this title

Review:

Praise for Miss Mouse Takes Off: "With minimalist text, Ormerod carefully lays out each step of the experience; a compelling and authentic emotional intensity always lies just beneath the surface of her mixed-media pictures [and] the characters are watchable even when they're sleeping."
