This chapter book is just charm personified. It has the perfect main character, set-up and structure. There's tons of humour mixed with just the right dose of peril and the illustrations are just gorgeous. I loved everything from the toads to Marty's hilarious rabbit friend to the building mystery which ends with a brilliant twist. I can't fault it! Bring on book 2!

Meet Marty Moose – the newest Postmouse in town! He’s got his uniform ironed, his buttons polished, and his whiskers looking their absolute best. He’s ready for his first day on the job!
But delivering letters isn’t as easy as he thought. First, he takes a wrong turn into Whisker Warren and ends up needing a rather bonkers bunny named Nibbles to bail him out. Then, just when he thinks he’s back on track, he finds himself stuck between two very grumpy toads having a not-so-friendly squabble. Who knew being a Postmouse could be so dramatic?
A delightful two-colour series full of lively illustrations and plenty of laughs. Great for read alouds or for early readers.
My six-year-old and I had the best time reading about Marty’s first day at work! Our favourite parts? The beautifully detailed map of Little Ditch at the start and the brilliant ‘How to Draw Marty’ guide at the end. And our favourite character? It has to be Nibbles!

When I say that this book is PERFECT, I really mean it!

Marty Moose is written and illustrated by Claire Powell and is executed with such thought and attention to detail that every page feels like an artwork. The words and the illustrations work together to create something really beautiful. The use of two colours is very effective, I can't wait to see more!

Inside, there is a charming map of Little Ditch where Marty lives, which I thoroughly enjoyed looking back on after reading the book. Honestly, you could print any page in this book and use it as a poster.

The story is funny and engaging, and made for an excellent read.

This was a really cute children’s book about Marty’s first day at the post mouse. The story has small chapters and plenty of lovely illustrations that will keep,a young child’s imagination going wild. It’s funny and kids will love it. Loved the different fonts too. 4.5 star read
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy.

Read this with my 9yo.
Their thoughts;
liked the characters,
the story of Marty Moose, who is trying very harf at what he wants to do, was sometimes engaging, sometimes dragged on long.
liked the colour scheme and the illustrations,
would read the next instalment, but wants more adventures and jokes.

Brash nonsense, providing a completely unedifying drama for the very young who might appreciate it. I disliked it quite intensely, and shall be sending a letter to myself to remind myself not to request any further books in the series.

This is cute! Marty is a great little post mouse and tackles everything with bravery and a positive attitude! I loved the illustrations too - just gorgeous.

This is a very charming and whimsical read that reminds me of the "Armadillo and Hare" series written by Jeremy Strong . The story is very different but the writing style is somewhat similar. It has a nostalgic feel to it that will endear to younger children.

The illustration is absolutely glorious. I love the drawings and how they can help younger children visualise the whimsical world depicted in the story.
