A mouse with a wordless-book vision

Rupert wants to create a picturebook told entirely through images, complete with scenic illustrations and visual flair. His plans run into one persistent obstacle: his friends keep talking. The premise turns the process of making a book into a comic clash between Rupert’s silent ideal and the chatter around him, with picturebook storytelling itself at the heart of the joke. This is the third entry in Ryan T. Higgins’s Mother Bruce series, though the supplied description centers on Rupert and his ambition to make a book without words.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A good match for children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous picturebooks.
  • Suitable for shared read-alouds at home or in classrooms.
  • May appeal to young readers curious about pictures and how books are made.
