Mouse Soup – 2010

This 2010 printing of Mouse Soup by Arnold Lobel has been transformed into a handcrafted journal celebrating one of the most beloved storytellers in children’s literature. Lobel is the author and illustrator of the iconic Frog and Toad series and a recipient of the Caldecott Medal for Frog and Toad Are Friends, with additional Caldecott Honors throughout his career. His gentle humor, expressive illustrations, and timeless storytelling style made his books staples of childhood reading for generations.

Mouse Soup is a playful collection of short stories featuring a clever little mouse who survives the cooking pot by spinning tale after tale, turning the tables through imagination and wit. ALL illustrated pages from this edition remain preserved throughout the journal, offering charming interruptions between blank writing pages that celebrate Lobel’s distinctive pen-and-ink artwork and cozy storytelling atmosphere.

This journal is perfect for fans of classic picture books, Frog and Toad collectors, writers who love whimsical inspiration, or anyone who grew up rereading Arnold Lobel’s stories. It’s equal parts literary keepsake and creative workspace, ideal for journaling, notes, or short story writing.

Each journal is individually handcrafted from a genuine vintage children’s book. Natural wear consistent with age adds character and ensures every piece is one of a kind.
