Build Your Child’s Library Today





Trouble! Where did that ravenous little mouse come from who’s disturbing the peace in the hospital? What’s Going On? is the third in a series of books on the adventures of Carlo the mouse. Carlo knew he was not supposed to go near the manager’s office, but when the kitchen staff were chasing him, he made a choice that started a war. This is only Carlo’s first time out, and already everyone is after him. Imagine what could happen when he learns his way around the hospital! He likes to eat, and is growing like a mushroom after the rain. Will this be the end of our curious little mouse, or will Carlo manage to outsmart the clever manager, angry cook, and sneaky exterminator so he can go home safely? You’ll find out in Mrs. D.’s next book on Carlo the mouse, Rules Are for a Reason. Remember, Hospitalia is a strange place . . .

What's going on? It's Carlo the mouse in his mischievous adventures in Hospitalia, a strange place. Carlo the Mouse, Book 3: What's Going On? by Mrs. D is a part of the Carlo the Mouse series. This beautifully illustrated children's book will keep your child laughing and entertained as they encounter the cook, the exterminator and the manager along with Carlo on his search for food. When Carlo finds himself hungry, he wanders throughout the hospital rooms, but his first stop is in the kitchen where he orders a burger. He is puzzled as to why the cook is angry that he's there, and now must continue to run for his life as they all work diligently to get rid of him. As he continues to evade their grasp, he is reminded of his parents' warning to follow the rules in order to learn how to survive on his own. Now he wonders ... will this be enough?



This is a beautiful, fun and engaging story and knowing that there is a whole series for children to enjoy makes it a more entertaining picture book experience. Here are some other books in the series from Rules For A Reason, Nothing Is Safe in a Mouse’s Life, It’s My Life and Now We’re Talking, and Too Many Rules for One Little Mouse that I'm sure you will enjoy. It is highly suggested to start with Book 1 to catch up, but regardless of where you start, you and your child are in for a treat. Help start building your child’s library today with any of the books written by Mrs. D.

Watch Out! Here Comes Carlo the Mouse!

Wonderful surprise from Susan Ricci 

The enchanting Carlo the Mouse: Too Many Rules for One Little Mouse is the first book in the Carlo the Mouse Series, and is it adorable!



I happened to be present at the Galloway Public Library yesterday where there was a reading in progress, featuring this delightful story. I could tell by the enraptured expressions of the children that they were actually absorbing the important messages conveyed by the author regarding this story, and why one must have rules and obey them.


Mrs. D. has a way of capturing life's most valuable lessons, while keeping children captivated with her top-notch illustrations. I had a few laugh out loud moments because of some unexpected twists in the story, which proved to me Mrs. D. is no ordinary children’s book author. Savvy is the word that comes to mind. Mrs. D. delves straight into the heart of matters, using the mischievous Carlo the Mouse, a youngster being raised in a hospital. Although Carlo is born in this sterile environment, he faces grave dangers outside the confines of his little home. While the little mouse is ready to jump headlong into his adventures and explorations the hospital, Mama and Papa Mouse warn him there are certain situations, people, and places to avoid, or he will face terrible consequences.






Just as humans guide their offspring away from danger, so it is with Carlo’s parents. I can’t wait to read Book Two of the series, so I can find out if Carlo is mindful of his parent’s warnings or if curiosity will get the better of this eager little mouse!
