written by Jean Smith Andrews
and illustrated by Berry L. Holly
Oh, my goodness... this lady is quite a writer and her first story to be published by Wiggles will give you the "Giggles," and have children laughing and curling their toes while reading.
The artist Berry L. Holly has done a fabulous job giving this family and mouse the perfect expressions, and their attitudes toward one another shine through and jump off the page.
When the construction starts the other field mice decided to move far away. However, Sherman insisted on remaining and soon found refuge in a new house where he was content until discovered by the Funnybones’ family. His challenge, stay out of their way or find another home.
This funny and witty book by Author Jean Smith Andrews will keep you laughing as you encounter the Funnybones’ reaction to finding a mouse in their new house.
“I was inspired to write There’s No Mouse in My New House after moving to my townhouse in Maryland. While sitting on the floor arranging photos in an album I observed a small shadow exiting from the room. It was too small to be anything other than a mouse. Soon, those dreadful creatures that I feared became the subject of this book. Perhaps writing stories about them is therapeutic because I have a sequel in the works.”

Jean Smith Andrews
Jean Smith Andrews began telling her own stories to her toddlers and later began submitting them to publishers. But in 1971,“I was ahead of my time, writing about race relations among first graders.”
So when she was encouraged to enter a writer’s contest for one of the Delaware Anthologies, she did so and delighted in seeing her first published work, The Freedom Suit.
Abandoning her desire to be a children’s book author, Jean took on another writing project, and another and even wrote a play that was used for a winter session course while she was employed as an academic advisor/ counselor at the University of Delaware. A novel, possibly screenplay, is in progress along with many children’s books. Jean has a M.A. in Education and a B.S. in Human Resources. Jean and husband, William reside in Charlotte.
