Whose Mouse Are You? (Aladdin Books)

In a series of delightfully imaginary achievements, "nobody's mouse" transforms himself into the beloved hero of his mother, father, sister, and brand-new baby brother. In their very first collaboration, now celebrating its 30th anniversary, Robert Kraus and Jose Aruego give charm and validity to one of childhood's more difficult experiences. Tender and catchy, Robert Kraus's rhyming text, combined with Jose Aruego's large, vibrantly clever illustrations, makes for a storytime classic. This happy picture book is brusting with wit, tenderness, and joyful ingenuity.

This is a wonderful story about a little mouse who learns who he is. Things start off dark for this poor young mouse, but he quickly learns that his actions can change any situation.

“Whose Mouse Are You?” was written by Robert Krus. It’s about mice and a cat. I feel like this book is very good because I like it. I think the mouse is brave. I don’t like the pictures in this story because the mouse is big. Brave people should read this book because it’s about a brave mouse. I give this book five out of five stars! - Junho, Ivy Class, February 2018

My kids are all older now, but this is still a remembered favorite! Perfect to read aloud to young children, and a fun early reader. Even though the mouse feels alone and family members are away, the young mouse is empowered to solve the solution and become unified with his/her family again. This is one that is easy for young minds to memorize and enjoy the reading process.

My boss recommended this book to me as one of her favorites, and since I have not read many books from before the early 90's I was excited to check it out. Overall, I think this is a fun book with a sweet message. I love the simplicity of the pictures, especially the blank page with the text: "What will you do?"

Such a cute fun story about a mouse who is alone at first because his family has been separated many different ways and he finds a way to bring them all back together. It is very uplifting and has a good storyline that way. I also enjoyed the rhyming that keeps a childs attention. I just would have like better illustrations because I think they could have been so much more fun and eyecatching with the cute story that was being told. The pages with just the mouse were a little drab and boring.
