Mouse Noses on Toast is a 2006 children's book written by Daren King and illustrated by David Roberts. It won the Nestlé Children's Book Prize Gold Award. [1]
Plot summary
A young mouse called Paul is so shocked to learn that "mouse noses on toast" are served at a fancy restaurant that he gathers a ragtag group of activists to investigate and protest.
Reception
Reviewers variously commented that it is a "quick" [2] and "easy" [3] read, and a "nice book to read aloud". [4] The Observer compared its style of humour to The Magic Roundabout and the School Library Journal said it is "just as engaging as it is loopy". [4] [5] Both the School Library Journal and AuthorLink criticised the ending. [2] [5]
AuthorLink called David Roberts' illustrations "cute", [2] and the School Library Journal said that the "very simple pen-and-ink illustrations ... fit the equally pared down narrative". [5]
