Product Description
Mahalia Mouse and her family live underneath Dunster House, an old Harvard dormitory. Foraging for food for her younger brothers and sisters, Mahalia gets trapped in a backpack and then finds herself inside a classroom far from home. Mahalia, intrigued by the lecture, starts attending classes and soon becomes a full-time student -- all the while wondering about the fate of her family. But when graduation day finally arrives, Mahalia has a wonderful surprise waiting for her.Written as part of his keynote address at Harvard's commencement, this latest book from John Lithgow (class of '67) incorporates his trademark witty rhymes and includes a CD of him reading the text at the commencement. Mahalia's story has an inspiring message for graduates or anyone whose success is worthy of celebration.

Good high school grad gift June 22, 2009
V. Lee (Dayton, OH)
This works as a great alternative to the Seuss book that has forever been a favorite HS grad gift. This one bears meaning for grads who had to overcome obstacles. I first read it in an airport and fell in love with the book.
Even MICE enjoy learning! February 4, 2009
Janet P. Reagan (Elizabethton, TN (displaced Tar Heel))
While this is a children's book, Lithgow wrote this for a college graduation speech. He appeals to all age groups, you see. And the book has the usual CD included in the book - but I have not tried to separate it from the book to see if it works (neither of them worked in the two poetry collection books I ordered) as this book is purchased as a gift for a grandchild. Enjoy this selection and watch your gift recipients do the same!

Inspiring at any age January 25, 2009
KlausMonkey (Dayton, NJ)
This book was received as a gift upon completing my first semester at college. I absolutely adore the charming story and brilliant illustrations. It is suitable for any age, yet as a returning adult I appreciate the way Mahalia thrives, despite being a bit different from the other students. The CD that comes with the book is a fantastic bonus, since John Lithgow is one of my favorite actors. An all around wonderful picture book!
Powerful Ideas in Simple Form October 28, 2008
Nancy P. Guthrie
Mahalia Mouse Goes to College is a well-written children's book with a message for all ages. The book makes a powerful statement about how everyone can succeed in life. A person has only to seize the opportunities that present themselves and work hard. The message is especially helpful for young people who doubt their ability to succeed in college.
