Inside Mousey’s backpack, right alongside the trail snacks and tiny rain jackets, you’ll always find these very notebooks. They are the same ones the trio references to make sense of their big adventures in the orchard neighborhood!

Inside these free pages, you’ll find lots of ideas and pictures to color, trace, and write about. Teddy Bearon uses them to map out solutions, Clementine Pennyfoot uses them to capture the rhythm of the day, and now they are yours to explore. Together, we’ll discover the joy of naming the world around us—from the thoughts in our minds and the things we see, to the big emotions we feel.

The best part? It’s your notebook now. Pack it up and make it your own!

These notebooks were made to be free resources that you are welcome to download and print at home or at your local library. You can copy and trace the ideas on your own paper if a printer isn’t handy.

Backpacker tip:

Fold the pages in half to make your own notebook like Mousey always carries in his backpack. As the author of “Mousey’s Backpack,” she finds it helpful to write down or draw out what she plans to say or do before she does it… especially if she’s feeling especially nervous about a big plan or idea.
