The Review of The Princess Mouse

Mikko goes to find his sweetheart after his marriage tree falls and he unexpectedly find a mouse, but sees that there is more than meets the eye with this little mouse.

One thing that really interested me throughout the book is the different traditions that come up. The first and most important tradition that comes up is cutting down the tree in search of a wife. Not many children get that in some parts of the world there isn’t much a choice in who you marry, so it would be a learning segment. Another tradition that comes up is that the future bride must weave cloth that the father approves of. Most people do something similar and find ways to impress the future in-laws, so this one might not be such a shock, but it is still a tradition that would be work pointing out and talking about.
