About the Book

This is a children’s book, suitable for ages 5 through 12.  It is the fourth in a series, about the delightful adventures of an English church mouse.  It is written in simple poetry form, that is easy to read and remember.  Each book introduces new words and ideas into the child’s vocabulary.  The stories have  a subtle moral included, without preaching, and educate, while entertaining.  This particular book takes Bartholomew’s family “on holiday.”  It teaches that the things you learn, even while having fun, can become valuable lessons, later in life.

About the Author

The author and illustrator, Father Mike, is otherwise known as the Reverend Canon Michael G. Carr, Canon Ordinary of the United Episcopal Church and editor of that organization's official publication, Glad Tidings. While in this capacity, he began entering a regular cartoon feature known as "Mus Ecclesia" which is the Latin terminology for "church mice." He was encouraged to put a collection of these cartoons in book form, but, instead, began writing a series of books for children, about one of his beloved characters, "Bartholomew."
