Mattimeo (Redwall, Book 3) (original 1989; edition 1999)

Although it has been a great many years since I read this book, and I have forgotten the details, I remember thinking it was truly wonderful. I recall particularly liking the story elements which relate to Mattimeo's struggle while in captivity. ( )

Mattimeo however is quite a trouble maker and makes settling down for Matthias and Cornflower.

6) An activity that a teacher can do with the students is to ask them to define the word "bravery". students can pick a character from the book and should describe why this character is brave and how he shows it.

Another great book by Brain Jacques. The Redwall series is a real must read! ( )

I could not put this book down! Matthias's son Mattimeo is mousenapped by a familiar character and Matthias will stop at nothing to rescue him. He is helped by characters such as Jess squirrel, Orlando the Axe, and , of course, Basil Stag Hare. A real page-turner. ( )

Probably my favorite of the Redwall. Less about some riddles and more about adventure and coming of age. I really like the travels and the characters were lovable. ( )
