In this exquisitely illustrated picture book with die-cut flaps, follow Mouse from woods to estuary to visit an old friend by the seaside. Taking place over the course of twenty-four hours, the gently rhyming story tracks the changing environment of the river’s banks, the shift from day to night, pleasant weather to rain and back again, and introduces a cast of friendly characters who wave to Mouse on the way, including beavers, water voles, and waterfowl. A nature spotter’s guide is included at the back of the book.
