The Best Mice Books for Kids
This blog uses affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
I had so much fun putting together this list of Mice Books for Kids. I knew we had some stand-out favorites in this category, but once I got started, I found out that we had A LOT of favorites!
From the beloved Stuart Little, to Kevin Henkes’ unforgettable Lily, there has got to be a favorite mouse character for everyone. Mouse Paint is especially fun as the tiny mice teach young learners all about color theory. In addition to our free printable library checklist of mice books, be sure to scroll down for the fun color discovery activity and worksheet printables we have for you.

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you, too, Lisa!
We love most of these mice books!
So happy to hear that–there are some fun titles!
We just in the last 2 weeks listened to Poppy on audio book. Lovely story. I never actually realized how many books there were featuring mice!
I know! Once I got started searching our shelves, I was surprised by how many ‘mice’ live in our house!
