Tibs the legendary Post Office mouser is the hero of this story. He’s adopted by the sorters at Mount Pleasant to deal with the mice that are nibbling the mail, just like the real life Tibs, but here Joyce Dunbar lets her imagination take over: Tibs, lonely and missing his mum, makes friends with the mice rather than eating them, and soon they are willingly helping him keep the Post Office spic and span.
Once the building is spotless there’s more excitement as the head postmaster prepares for a visit from Princess Elizabeth. The story is full of incident and the details both in the text and the illustrations will delight children. Tibs is a lively presence in Claire Fletcher’s gorgeous illustrations and the mice scamper across the pages with real glee. ~ Andrea Reece
