Not quite as good as Mouse Soup, which I've loved forever. My favorites were The Mouse and the Winds, and The Old Mouse. (

Genre: Fantasy, early chapter book
Age: primary
Media: watercolor and ink
Review/ Critique: The father mouse tells his children 7 bedtime stories. This is a silly fable with personified mice and no moral. (

This book is filled with short stories. You can complete a character sheet that spreads across all of the short stories, compare the characters, learn what dialogue is and how it is used. So many opportunities for minilessons across this little book. (

Z thought it was sweet and funny. Probably because he was able to read most of it himself. Which is a bigger deal for his early reader self these days. (

A book about an adult mouse telling bedtime stories to seven child aged mice. This book resembles a chapter book- having seven different stories. These stories are adventurous, humorous, imaginative, and resembles known tales. Could be considered to be a folk tale fiction book.
