- Book Synopsis
- Join Dandy the dormouse on his adventures high up in the trees in this delightful, rhyming story by bestselling poet Pam Ayres, author of The Last Hedgehog and I Am Oliver the Otter. Hello. I am a dormouse, and Dandy is my name. I'm a different kind of mouse, we are not all the same. Did you know dormice are born grey and get their beautiful golden-brown fur as they get older? Or that they can climb trees like acrobats because of their sticky feet? Written in rhyme and beautifully illustrated by the award-winning Nicola O'Byrne, Pam Ayres's charming tale I Am Dandy the Dormouse is a light-hearted look at the life of this tiny tree-dweller. Written with the help and advice of The Woodland Trust and bursting with natural facts - like how dormice leave a unique, neat mark on every hazelnut they eat - with an extra information spread at the end. The perfect read for curious young nature-lovers.
