It’s a fun, thoughtful read that encourages empathy, patience, and understanding.

We really loved the beautiful illustrations in this one! Our favorite character was Lady Mouse.
This is about an autistic wolf and a mouse with ADHD who are best friends. They plan a day at the beach, but things don’t go quite according to plan! They solve the problem and make a better plan for next time :)
I will say, we didn’t realize the two characters had ADHD or autism until we read the blurb afterward! Wolfy will relate to any kid who likes to have a set plan, and Lady Mouse will rate to any who like to fly by the seats of their pants!
Thank you so much to Moonlight Book Tours and the author for the ebook in exchange for an honest review!

The Adventures of the Lady Mouse and Wolfy is a fun and cute story. It’s about a brave lady mouse and a kind, gentle wolf who become friends, even though that’s not what you’d expect. I liked how the characters got along and how the story had some fun surprises. Some parts felt a little too fast, but overall, it’s a fun and funny book. I think anyone who enjoys adventure and imagination will like it.
