Mouse Noses on Toast is a children's book written by Daren King and illustrated by David Roberts, published in 2006. It won the Nestlé Children's Book Prize Gold Award.[1]
Reviewers variously commented that it is a "quick"[2] and "easy"[3] read, and a "nice book to read aloud".[4] The Observer compared its style of humour to The Magic Roundabout and the School Library Journal said it is "just as engaging as it is loopy".[4][5] Both the School Library Journal and AuthorLink criticised the ending.[2][5]
AuthorLink called David Roberts' illustrations "cute",[2] and the School Library Journal said that the "very simple pen-and-ink illustrations ... fit the equally pared down narrative".[5]
