The Adventures of Mooty was first published as a 10-part series of children's stories in 1980, depicting the adventures of a loveable little mouse who endears himself to a community of animals, birds and insects and becomes their hero. Four decades on, Mooty continues to charm children and adults alike. Author Jessie's reflections on Mooty Goes to School: Mooty goes to school with the baby animals. He learns to read and write, and as a hardworking pupil, did so well in school that he was soon able to help the other baby animals with their work. The story was written to inspire children to work hard and do well in any task that they take on. © 1980 by Jessie Wee.
