About the Book

The story of a little girl mouse called Melody who lives in a large barn on a farm with her family. Her name is really Melanie, because she is always singing, everyone calls her Melody.

One day when she visits her Grandmother who lives in the Old Mouse Home, all the elderly mice were sitting around sleeping and it all seemed too quiet. Melody did not think her grandmother and her friends were very happy so she decides to entertain them.

About the Author

The author is a retired grandmother who loves to read children's books to her grandchildren. From time to time she has thought about writing a story herself. While recovering from an operation she had the idea for this book, so this time instead of just thinking about it, this is the result.

Hope you will enjoy it.
