About the Mouse Mansion
The Mouse Mansion is a world of its own, with over a hundred tiny rooms filled with houses, shops, streets and outdoor spaces, all mouse-sized. Each room has its own resident, with a unique story, personality and family ties. This miniature world is discovered by two mice: Sam and Julia. The everyday things they experience in the Mouse Mansion teach young readers meaningful life lessons. The Mouse Mansion is a safe haven, an inclusive world, and a story about friendship and community.

The book series now includes six richly illustrated titles of which two are translated to English: Sam and Julia and At the Theater. With each book, you’ll discover a new part of the Mouse Mansion.

About Karina Schaapman
The Mouse Mansion was handcrafted by artist Karina Schaapman (born 1960). She wanted to create a children’s book, not with drawings, but with photographs of scenes from her handmade Mouse Mansion. The story of Sam and Julia was already in her mind. What started with a few pieces of cardboard and some glue turned into a fully built world of more than a hundred tiny rooms. A world Karina would love every child to grow up in.

The original Mouse Mansion is three metres tall and two metres wide. You can admire it in person at the Mouse Mansion shop and museum on Muntplein in Amsterdam.

Favorite children’s book, support artists like this!

My children absolutely love this book and have for years. We have actually created a homeschool group based on this book where we get together and make tiny things for our creatures at home. It’s so inspiring visually and the stories are sweet. Buying from the website here was a smooth and easy process, I’ve also emailed with the family regarding a customer service question, and it’s refreshing to be able to communicate with and support real people in their pursuit to create something truly beautiful for the world.
I’ve bought this book for multiple children’s birthdays and it’s always a hit. We are big fans!

This book is delightful. There is much to explore in the Mouse Mansion and will lead to endless discussions with minds of many ages. The perfect book for children and adults to spend many hours reading. Thank you!!!

Magical Book

I borrowed this book from my local library for my 4 year old son. He absolutely adores this book. He loves to look at the mansion pictures using his magnifying glass and try to match up what he sees with the stories in the book. He made me read the book to him every night for 2 months. At some point I needed to return the book to the library, so I decided to buy the book for his birthday next month.

Lovely stuff

Everything looks great. I didn’t look inside the House Mansion on the Go yet, as these are gifts but I looked inside the book and it is beautiful. I am sure the kids will be very happy.
