About this listen

Caldecott Medalist Matthew Cordell and librarian Travis Jonker have crafted a timeless tale of a little mouse and a big adventure.

Mabel the mouse wants nothing more than to be a fearless sea captain traveling the world in search of adventure. Every night she watches a man carefully construct a model ship, as his son watches by her side. Mabel and the boy know the model ship is anything but a toy, but they both long to see if it can really float. So Mabel hatches a plan to make her seafaring dreams come true.

The Ship in the Window celebrates the rewards of following your dreams and never losing the spirit of adventure.

"Jonker taps into many children’s delight in miniatures; they will thrill along with Mabel at her adventure."—The Horn Book Magazine
