this is a dumb book. No plot, awful illustrations, no creativity.
zero stars

I had never heard of this book before, but I randomly pulled it off our bookshelf to read to my son at bedtime. It's not a bad story and its wording is great for kids learning to read. Baby Mouse saves the day by staying up past her bedtime--which is something I'm guilty of letting my kids do on a regular basis. Maybe it's all for good! (Yeah right, they need more sleep)

This book is bout a young mouse who is constantly finding her self in trouble, she doesn't think about the consequences her actions may have. This would be a good book for responsibility!
