The Tales of Mindy Mousekins (Autumn – Winter) How can a warm, nurturing, lovable mouse save the world? One sweet story at a time. Actually, Mindy Mousekins doesn’t know that’s her mission in life. She simply goes about her business, touching others with her every day adventures in the forest. Like all of us, she learns about her world through trial and error. She confronts her fear when a scary, scratchy sound keeps her up at night. And, a chance encounter with Jack Frost makes her appreciate the beauty and wonder of frosty window panes. She stretches for the juiciest out-of-reach blackberry, and when she takes a tumble, she makes the best of it with humor and joy. While gentle, these stories also speak to the many conflicts that young children commonly encounter. Tracks: 1. Introduction 00:54 2. The Blackberry Pie 4:45 3. The Noises in the Night 4:39 4.
