The illustrations are simply adorable. (  )quicksilvertears | Jun 8, 2009 |   This is a cute book for any age group. Even if a child cannot read yet, he or she will be able to understand what each page is meaning by looking at the illustrations. This book teaches kids what they will need to bring to school each day. It also explains the itenirary a child will go through during a school day. TimiF | Apr 5, 2009 | A good example of fantasy because this mouse takes on human characteristics, such as wearing overalls and eating cookies. He also engages in human activities such as building a house out of blocks, writing a book, spelling words on the board, doing math, playing soccer, and riding a skateboard. While it would be possible to bring a mouse to school, in actuality a mouse would not be able to complete these tasks, making it fantasy. This silly story does, however, hold bits of truth. It explains the sorts of distractions that can result from bringing certain things to school and it shows a stream of events that can result from one little idea. Media: ink and wash ( )teddy5 | Mar 27, 2009 | This book is a good example of modern fantasy because a mouse cannot really talk, make books, write on the chalkboard, and all of the other things that this mouse does at school in this book. The artwork in this book looks like it was done with water color, and maybe colored pencil and ink. The background looks like it was done in watercolor, where the mouse's fur looks like it was done in colored pencil, and all of the work is outlined by black ink. So basically it is a multimedia book. The narration in this book is done in traditional third person narration. The interesting thing about this book, is even though there are many lines that talk about what the mouse said, none of them are said in conversation form, or using quotes. madelinelbaker | Mar 11, 2009 | This is a story depicting what would happen if you took a mous to school. Starting with a lunch box, the mouse will want one thing that leads to another and so on. It ends with the mouse wanting the lunch box again...and go back to school. I really like the "If You ...a Mouse..." books. They are fun to read and very popular with the children. Easy text and good illustrations are sure to engage the younger reader. I would use this book in the class by asking, "What do you think will happen next?" It will help them to expand their thinking. dc061140 | Oct 26, 2008 | 0.095 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0060283289, Hardcover)Ah, mice. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. Laura Numeroff and illustrator Felicia Bond, creators of the bestselling picture books If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and If You Take a Mouse to the Movies, are back with If You Take a Mouse to School. As you might imagine, there are great risks in bringing your mouse to school. For starters, he'll ask you for your lunchbox. And then a sandwich. And a snack for later. Still not satisfied, he'll want to participate in everything from math to soccer. Children and adults alike will revel in the hilarious, very cute illustrations of the mouse in the classroom: hanging from the top corner of the blackboard to spell (aptly enough) "precocious" and "adrenaline," writing "'Goodnight Mouse' by Mouse," sitting inside the boy's open backpack playing with a yo-yo, etc. This book is more episodic in nature than the truly cause-and-effect formula of the previous books: "If you give a pig a pancake, she'll want some syrup to go with it." Nonetheless, kids who know and love this rollicking read-aloud series will laugh and play to see a mouse at school. (Ages 4 to 8) --Karin Snelson(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:12 -0400) The first test round has been closed. Visit the Open Shelves Classification group for details. |
