Key words: Fiction,
Modern Work, Picture Book
Recommended Reading Level:
Grades K, 1
Theme: A day in the
life of a young boy.
Summary: A cookie is
given to an energetic mouse, and the consequences are quite
amusing as one request from the little visitor leads to another.
The final result of the mouse's requests is one very tired host
and one endless cycle of activity.
Strengths: This is a
humorous little book with bright, colorful illustrations. The
sentences are short with only one or two per page. The simple
vocabulary is ideal for a young reader. The lively antics of the
mouse make it a memorable story for any young person.
Weaknesses: I simply
cannot think of any. There is no moral lesson or great truth to
be taught by this book, but can't some stories simply be fun to
read?
Other Notes: This is
an enjoyable story for a young person to read or have read to
them.
