Book description
The fourth sidesplitting book about the clumsy talking mice you love
to… well, love.
Everyone's favourite biscuit-munching, tea-drinking, talking mice are
back and this time they are making a mess of the zoo.
Quality writing and side-splitting humour combine in these brilliant
stories that will be loved by children and adults alike. Praise for
The Clumsies Make a Mess:
“Anderson has a gift for combining simple, sparse elements - meek man,
bully boss, shabby office, talking mice - to wonderfully surreal
effect.” Financial Times
"Charming debut… With its stylish cartoons and pages that look
crumpled, blotted and scattered with biscuit crumbs, this book will win
youngsters over with its child-like illogicality and the way in which
Howard goes happily along with anything that the anarchic inventiveness
of the Clumsies leads him to." Sunday Times Culture - Children's
Book of the Week
"Occasionally a book comes along that makes my children collapse
into fits of giggles… my children were near hysterical by the end of the
first paragraph."
The Telegraph Magazine
"The kids will love getting mucky with them" Irish World
"If you enjoy these stories as much as I did, you will be waiting
for the next book in the series" Families Magazine Sorrel
Anderson hasn't always been a writer. Once upon a time she worked as a
civil servant, and it was there that she found the inspiration for her
characters - quite literally. One morning she came into work to find a
pair of mice in a plastic bag under her desk, eating up her biscuits.
She named them Purvis and Mickey Thompson, and that very day, the
Clumsies were born!
