A Sweet Tale of Dreams, Discovery, and Home – Annie Mouse Makes a Wish by Sally Monte
A children’s book filled with lessons and adventure is something that every child loves to read every time.
In the enchanting world of children’s literature, every so often, a book comes along that wraps itself around your heart like a cozy blanket. Annie Mouse Makes a Wish by Sally Monte is exactly that kind of story—a beautifully illustrated, whimsical journey of a small mouse with a big heart and even bigger dreams.
From the very first page, young readers are introduced to Annie, a gentle little mouse who lives peacefully on her grassy hill. But Annie’s imagination is too grand to be confined to the ground. She longs to climb the tallest tree and see the vast world that lies beyond her tiny corner of the earth. It’s a yearning that every curious child—and the child in every adult—can relate to.
Ideally, the author of this book has opted for rhyming sentences in the book that are perfect for read-aloud moments. Annie’s tale is both lyrical and engaging. Monte captures the essence of wonder and wanderlust while gently guiding young readers through important themes like bravery, growth, and the safety of home. When a hungry owl interrupts her early adventure, Annie learns an important lesson about caution and comfort. But her dreams don’t disappear—they simply wait until she’s ready to try again.
As Annie grows older and finally ventures beyond her familiar nest, she discovers that wishes, while sometimes scary or slow to come true, can bloom in the most unexpected ways. This second journey is especially poignant, as it mirrors the natural growth of a child becoming more confident and capable, and learning that life offers new chances when you’re open to them.
The illustrations are soft, colorful, and endearingly detailed, perfectly complementing the poetic narrative. Little readers will delight in the vibrant forest scenes, expressive animal characters, and the magical feeling of a world seen from Annie’s tiny but adventurous perspective.
Whether it’s bedtime or a quiet afternoon reading session, Annie Mouse Makes a Wish is a story that gently teaches children the value of dreams, the courage it takes to follow them, and the comfort of knowing that home is always waiting.
