One of My Favourite Things

Melanie Mouse's Moving Day by Cindy Szekeres, is a book about Melanie (duh) a little girl mouse who is sad because she has to move away from her other animal friends. It may not be a tear-jerker now, but apparently it made me cry as a kid. No worries, Melanie does meet new friends in the end and she even gets her "own room" (something I never had until my sister moved out). Anyways, Melanie Mouse's Moving Day was given to me on my 2nd birthday from my mom, dad and sister, and looking back it's probably one of my favourite birthday gifts since it was my very first book (of which now I have about a billion).
