The Purple Ribbon

Sharelle Byars Moranville
illustrated by Anna Alter

I found this one at the thrift store and it turned out to be a sweet story.  (Sometimes with thrift store books the cover and synopsis look promising but when you get them home and read them they're real duds!).  Madeleine was the first to read it and said it was a keeper!  The story follows a mouse named "Spring" and how she ends up living in an old car with her mouse babies.  The purple ribbon is a beloved heirloom that ties Spring to her family and new little children.  This is a good chapter book for those looking for "gentle" stories for young readers.
