Schaapman’s ingenious miniature interiors are certain to captivate all ages. From tiny wooden toys and well-scaled textiles to Sam’s grandpa’s faded sailor tattoos, the thoroughgoing attention to detail consistently fascinates.

Ok, I would have enjoyed this, I believe, when I was a child. I made similar creative attempts for my dolls. But I had to make everything from scraps, salvage, glue, and colored pencils. I can't help but feel resentful that Schaapman has pocket money and access to real tools....
Anyway, her taste
Otoh, all the above is *my* opinion. If you're interested, by all means see if your library has a copy.

in domestic scenes doesn't match mine, either. Too dingy, distressed, cluttered, and claustrophobic. I guess that's apt for mice, but still, I don't really care for it.

Forget the stories; they're not especially interesting. But OMG, you have got to spend some time studying the elaborate mouse mansion. This is some awesome model-making. The little mice are cute, but the house is worth gazing at for untold hours. All the detail.

A simple sort of story, just a sequence of scenes set in a most unusual and quirky 'doll' house where the inhabitants are mice. The house itself is ever so much more interesting than the adventures Julia and Sam have moving through it. I collect miniature tools and saw a set I've come across often,
