Eek! There's a Mouse in the House

I had mixed feelings about this book after reading it. I liked the book because it had illustrations that would catch the eye of the reader. They used a lot of color for them and it had a bunch of animals which children would like to see. The language was descriptive and used rhyming words. The author used rhyming words like hog and dog. It was more interesting to read the story when words rhyme. The book contained many characters; this included the little girl and all her animals. The little girl was very worried about all of the animals in her house. I could understand her feelings because the book was said from a third person point of view. However, in the book, I didn't like how the writing was very confusing. There was so much show more going on on all of the pages. For example, one of the pages talked about different animals breaking objects in the house so the little girl decided to bring in other animals to help solve the mess. This goes along with the plot because is was a little unorganized regarding all of the animals being in the house. Overall, I think the main message of this story is that sometimes events can be very overwhelming but you just need to try and stay strong through it. show less

This is a funny story about using one thing to get rid of another, but it makes the problem bigger. The illustrations were light and fun and was cohesive with the text. I would use this in language arts when discussing rhyming words.

My young niece and nephews enjoyed finding the animals throughout the house and being astonished at what they did. I recommend this as a read aloud to ages 3-7.
