Tracey’s review — This is such a cute book!  When I first became a consultant with Usborne Books & More in November of 2008, this book was in my starter kit.  My two older boys, then ages 5 and 3, fell in love with it right away.  They wanted me to read it first.  They still ask to be able to play with it or have me read it.

My first thought when I saw this book, I must say, was, “Oh sure — that mouse will get lost quick.”  Surprisingly, we haven’t lost it!  When I turned the book over, I saw that there was a template to make a new mouse…just in case.  That’s nice.

This book helps to teach pre-reading skills, too, because you lead the little mouse on a trail from left to right.  It also helps little ones learn to only turn one page at a time, because when you slip the mouse through the slots you can only retrieve the mouse on the next page.  If you skip a page, you won’t find the mouse!
