Jacqueline Mead is a children’s author from the South West of England. Originally from Plymouth, Jacqueline has made her home Exeter for the last 20 years. Jacqueline wrote her first book at the age of 56. It was based on a short story that she made up for her children at bedtime.

She continues to share her love of reading with her grandchildren and often tries out her new manuscripts on them.
First, you met Mr Mouse and his friends Frog and Bee in the wonderful storybook The Tales of Mr Mouse and Friends by Jacqueline Mead. Now meet his children. Mr Mouse met his match in the first book (Chapter 5, Mr Mouse Meets his Match) Mr Mouse and Hilda married and had 12 children: 11 sons and a daughter. In the first book, you met the children briefly as they got into trouble on a day out on a raft (Chapter 10 Coastguards Save the Day). This book introduces each child, through the use of adjectives we learn that Fletcher is fun and fast, Brian is brave and brainy. We learn their favourite thing to do and their favourite colour. Hidden in each picture are three objects for your child to find. Each illustration brings to life the child as we see Iain invent a robot and Edgar measuring a very large egg. Enjoy this book with your child as they learn new words, fall in love with the children and have fun too. In the next adventure book the children will have their own story to tell, meet the children now but hold on tight, things are going to get a lot more fun.
Join Mr. Mouse as he tends to his award-winning garden, makes friendships, meets Hilda his future wife, all the while drinking lots of tea and eating lots of cake. Mr. Mouse is a popular character whose door is always open, who is on hand to help anyone who needs assistance, who will rally around a worthwhile cause and who is highly thought of throughout the woodland community. Each chapter is a short story of its own and set in a season, there are twelve chapters following Mr. Mouse over three years. Read about the woodlands during a harsh winter when the woodlands are covered in six-foot snow drifts, during spring when the season is changing from winter, summer when Mr. Mouse’s award-winning gardens are at their best and autumn when the trees and plants are losing their leaves.
Mr. Mouse with a house on the River Louse will become a favourite bedtime story for your children.
