Little Mouse Gets Ready: Toon Level 1 by Jeff Smith
3.0
It is the promise of a trip to the barn that sets Little Mouse into a frenzy one day. It’s a great idea, but a mouse needs to get ready for such an exciting adventure. Little Mouse Gets Ready follows Little Mouse as he prepares for his excursion, from getting his clothes on just right (Check for the tag. That’s the back.) to anticipating the fun that awaits (Then I’ll find the horses and eat the OATS that they drop on the floor!) The book ends with a surprise that will shock the socks right off of Little Mouse and leave readers asking for more.
This easy-to-read graphic novel combines large illustrations with simple sentences, making for a book that is just-right for emerging readers. Young children will also be able to relate to Little Mouse’s struggles and triumphs in the arduous task of getting dressed. The illustrations are appealing, detailing the expressive mouse’s charming facial expressions and utilizing bright colors to bring his clothes to life. Little Mouse’s environment is illustrated in natural, muted colors, ensuring that the tiny creature doesn’t fade into the background. This Geisel Honor Book would be a great addition to any library and is recommended as an essential purchase.
