I really enjoyed the artwork in this book - the movement of the mouse and shapes.

[Janet · Rating 3 out of 5]

A brief colorful board book both written and illustrated by Pete Horacek telling of a mouse scurrying to reach safety. Wonder why mouse needs a safe place.

this is great for a small baby, it shows the basic concepts of up, down, around, through and so on. it's easy for him to understand the mouse and the die-cut board pages fascinate him. well, his little mouth, anyway. this is a good one for the very little.
EDIT
it helps that I make squeaking mouse noises as we read. he loves that stuff.

Great for babies, that will enhance their touch and feel skills and also, bold letters for letter knowledge too.

A cute book that tells the daring tale of escape, following a mouse through the lengths and heights of a dining room to prevent certain tragedy.

[Sarah · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun little book with easy-to-turn pages for little fingers and simple text that helps them learn through repetition.
