If you take a mouse to school


Written by Laura Numeroff; illustrated by Felicia Bond
2002 Harper Collins

From the series If you give a mouse a cookie, Numeroff describes the excited little mouse as one ready for a new adventure by attending school. He’s going to want a lunchbox, a notebook, some pencils and a backpack too. Mouse just loves to learn: trying a science experiment, being artistic with clay, and of course, learning to write. No child can refuse the enthusiasm that is conveyed by the mouse. The story line is stimulating and keeps the children on edge to find out what is coming next. As always, Numeroff comes through with an animated tale as does Bond’s wonderfully bright and emotionally charged illustrations.
