We are happy to let you know that Cerkabella have acquired the Hungarian rights for Little Mouse and Little Mouse’s Christmas, books #1 and #3 in the internationally bestselling Little Mouse series by Riikka Jäntti! The deal was closed by Sten-Erik Tammemäe and Elina Ahlbäck at Elina Ahlback Literary Agency.
The Little Mouse series is an international bestseller and the stories of the books focus on the toddler Little Mouse who lives with Mummy Mouse and has fun and exciting adventures, whether they go camping, play in the park, or clean up the house in preparation for guests. The lovely illustrations and familiar scenarios make the series wonderfully relatable for children.
Cerkabella praised Little Mouse for its inclusivity, sophistication, and relatability:
“The size of the book makes it easy to be held, it’s sized for the little ones. It’s lovely that Mommy Mouse is not left out on the cover and throughout the story, at this age the closeness of the mother is crucial for toddlers, and in addition, single-parent families can feel represented.
The illustrations are sophisticated, the colours are harmonious and not too vibrant which goes easy on the nervous system, as in today’s age the young minds are bombarded with stimulation.
These are warm, nostalgic, feel-good stories, both parent and child will enjoy them.”

As for Little Mouse’s Christmas, Cerkabella stated that it is the perfect book to give as a gift for Christmas:
“In Hungary most books are bought for Christmas, and our publishing company has a wide selection of Christmas books as well. We are especially happy when a series comes out with a special winter edition. Our favourite fairy-tale hero should not be left out of the winter festivities. The red and green colours on the cover fit perfectly with what you’d expect from a gift, yet blend in with the rest of the series. This book is perfect for curling up with in an armchair, with a bite of sugar cookie and carols in the background.”
