The Island of the Skog by Steven Kellogg

This charming picture book tells the story of a group of mice who set out on a perilous journey to find a new home after their old one becomes too crowded. They eventually discover a deserted island, but soon realize that it is already occupied by a friendly but fearsome creature called the Skog. The mice are faced with the challenge of winning over the Skog and convincing him to share his island with them.

Through Kellogg’s delightful storytelling and beautiful illustrations, The Island of the Skog teaches important lessons about courage, cooperation, and the power of friendship. This is a wonderful book for children to read on their own or to share with a parent or grandparent.
