The Life and Perambulations of a Mouse Dorothy Kilner

Life and Perambulations of a Mouse sets out to teach children the importance of good virtues such as civility and humbleness and does this very clearly, so that even a child can follow. The book is almost wholly composed of stories where good things happening to well-behaved people and cautionary tales of the consequences of treating others poorly, which is also emphasized in the closing line of the book.
