Mouse in red dress asked 665 days ago by Tina W. - 8 answers

Do not remember name of book. Was 30+ years ago. It was a girl mouse living in her house (in tree truck?) she was signing and always keeping her house clean.

Antoinette says:

My first thought was "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH" but a quick Google search suggests it may be "Minnikin, Midgie, and Moppet: A Mouse Story"

Tina W. (who asked the original question) says:

Sorry that is not the book. All I remember was a female mouse in a red dress. Cleaning her little house immaculately, and this is why I still keep my house
so clean.

Scroll down to C25. They seem to have a few suggestions.

Richard J. says:

Have you considered The Tale of Mrs Tittlemouse? (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_Mrs._Tittlemouse which includes an image of the mouse, wearing a red-ish dress with her dustpan and brush.)

Annette says:

Miss Suzy?

Angelina Ballerina

Agree with the Stump The Bookseller link.

Is this the mouse you're looking for?

Thanks for your help. That was it. The name of the book is Little Mouse Dances by Elizabeth Upham.
Thanks again.
