This is a really great book for teaching children about number words one through ten. The mouse and the other characters are really fun and exciting for children to learn about. This book is also great for teaching general new vocabulary, as there are a lot of new words and different kinds of animals for children to learn. The storyline is good and easy for children to follow. Great book!

Darling rhyming book with beautiful illustrations

[Erin Reilly-Sanders · Rating 3 out of 5]

Insanely cute illustrations are usually not a great sign of quality but I really enjoyed these nonetheless. The book design is quite good with a pattern of full page spread on the left with text and detail of the results of the actions in the text on the right. The story is a pretty simple counting rhyme that is neither annoying nor spectacular but comes together to create a fun book.

"One Little Mouse", tells a story of a mouse who wants to find a new home in the forest because his is too small. He took a journey meeting different animals in the forest and as he meets each set of animals the numbers go up from 1-10. This can be used to teach students how to spell numbers one through ten which is big, bold, and colorful on each page of the book.

So sweet! Follow the little mouse as he tries to find a home with other animals. We learn names of different kinds of animal homes and discover why those homes won't work for mouse. I like the rhyme and rhythm of this one.. sweet and sets a nice tone. Not annoying like some rhyming stories can be.

I enjoy this because book can be used in a variety of different ways. It could be used at home for a bedtime story or at school to learn to count backwards from ten. Another way it could be used at school is when the students are learning to rhyme.
