Wusel the mouse, Hoot the curious owl, Hunter the busy beaver as well as their friends Cheeks the forgetful squirrel, and Pokey the shy porcupine learn that being different is okay. Living close together and each learning about the others they come to realize they all have their special talents and are all-important. Their adventures as well as their mistakes teach them to except one another. They also learn things about themselves. Can a small mouse help an owl? Can a strong busy beaver help his friends? Will the shy porcupine perform an act of bravery? Why does Cheeks have blue spots? Are owls really wise or do they also need to learn? Do we all look at things and see them the same? I hope you enjoy reading “The Mouse & The Curious Owl” and learning some of the lessons they learned.
