Customer Reviews
Too good for kids. - Rated I didn't know Russell Hoban wrote for children until recently. His "Riddley Walker" is one of my all-time favourite adult books. The Mouse and His Child turned out to be a supreme delight. A beautiful, inventive and imaginative book that pulled at my heartstrings from the first page and expertly sustained this powerful sensation until the end. It continues to affect me, and I've recently re-read it. It's one of the books that I like my friends to read. Whether a 10yr old could manage it these days, I couldn't say. If you're getting it for a young child, you'd enjoy reading it to them. Deep philosophy--for children! - Rated A deep, intelligent, powerful book clothed as childrens literature. This book works on several levels so it can be appreciated as a simple road tale, an adventure or as one of the deepest philosophical works ever written and all the more meaningful for being so accessible. As a 10 year old I read this and ended up staring sleeplessly at the ceiling pondering the issues raised. The only let down is the somewhat lazy conversion of the genuinely terrifying evil character of Manny Rat into a good guy. Your children are not stupid. Buy this and make them think.
