Steve Bjorkman is an American children's book illustrator and author known for lively, humorous artwork in picture books and early chapter books.

He has also created his own books, such as Look Out, Mouse!, which showcases his playful visual storytelling for young readers.
Mouse is trying to help, not start a chase. When Farmer Fred forgets to feed the horse, Mouse nibbles holes in the feed bag so the food can spill out. That clever idea solves one problem, but it creates a much bigger one.
Now Mouse has to dodge a cat, a snake, an owl, and a fox, all while staying quick, brave, and just out of reach. With simple sentences, lively action, and colorful illustrations, this beginning-reader story gives new readers plenty of momentum from page to page.
Look Out, Mouse! is a playful animal adventure for kids who are building reading confidence and enjoy stories with quick escapes, farmyard trouble, and a small hero who has to think fast.

Fast, silly, and full of black-and-white illustrations, this chapter book is a great pick if you like animal adventures, school stories, and books where every character has a different way of seeing the same chaotic problem.
