It has been some thrilling ride since I introduced Carlo the mouse to the world. Every vegetable has its time. So does the story of Carlo the Mouse. It must find its readers, some of them far away from Florida and some of them next to my or your home. As the author, I faced a real dilemma: what to do with
the original book, Carlo the Mouse on Vacation. Since
this book includes four stories, which are for slightly
older readers, I decided to slightly rewrite them and
made these stories a part of the Carlo the Mouse series.
As of right now, I have published six books about Carlo
the mouse as a baby and a teen. Carlo the Mouse, Book 6
gradually connects new stories to the old stories. Chanoa,
the talented illustrator, beautifully illustrated the first
six books. Her illustrations are colorful, entertaining,
and pleasant to the eye.

The full series of adventures of Carlo the mouse will
easily entertain children and grown-ups. I am planning
to publish Carlo the Mouse, books 7, 8, 9 and 10, which
will include Carlo the Mouse on Vacation adventures
in 2020. As sad as I felt, I retired my first book, Carlo
the Mouse on Vacation. I kept a few original books
of Carlo the Mouse on Vacation for my loyal fans and
me as a great reminder of how the series of Carlo the
Mouse fell into my lap. And as my young
fan, Sergei, wrote in his story, may the story of Carlo
the mouse never end.

I am now working on the next few books about Carlo the
mouse in Mrs. D’s kitchen. There will be the war for cheese
between Carlo and Mr. D, who is an Italian and who knows
a lot about good cheese. Carlo the Mouse on Vacation series
will go to the illustration stage in 2019-2020, and should be
published in 2020-2022. Carlo’s adventures in New Jersey
will be linked to the first original “Carlo the Mouse on

Many of you who read “Carlo the Mouse on Vacation”
remember that the story ended with Carlo trapped inside a
pizza box, which was handed to a man in black. The next
few books after Carlo’s misadventures will take place on the
streets of Paris and will be very intriguing. Spies … betrayal
… and a war between international mice…

I am dying to tell you more, but this is as much as I am
allowed to reveal. I am very excited about this project and
can’t wait to introduce you to the naughty Carlo as a grown
mouse. As for now, please use your creative minds, pencils,
crayons and brushes and show me your artistic side. I hope
you had fun coloring this book and enjoyed some activities
as you set out on adventures with Carlo the mouse. I would
be delighted if with the permission of their parents, young
artists and readers would send me their coloring pages and
stories so I could see their vision too. Please ask your mom
or dad or other caregivers to scan the colored pages. Then
they can email them to olga@mrsdbooks.com. I will gladly
post them on my blog at Mrs.D.Books.

The first six books are already available in print and as
e-books on Amazon and B&N. My little readers are already
in love with Chanoa’s art and her mischievous characters.
I thought it would be a great idea to create two coloring
books, based on the six Carlo the Mouse books. The first coloring book will include the art from Carlo the Mouse,
books 1, 2 and 3, and the second coloring book will include
Carlo the Mouse, books 4, 5 and 6.
