The language in this book is interesting in the sense that it uses different writing concepts like simile and metaphor. It also includes descriptive words that intensify what the sentence is about. An example in the book is when the frog in the book says “I’ll jump as high as the sky and bring you the juiciest bugs”. The illustrations cover up most of the page and tie in with the text well. Going back to the quote mentioned regarding the frog, the corresponding picture shows a very big frog in the midst of jumping in the air trying to get the ladybug for the smaller frog on the next page. The frogs have cool spots on them and they both look really happy. The theme of the story is about two mice going around their habitat and seeing what other animal parents would do for their children. This book is written in a way that it shows many examples of different animals that are doing actions the mice cannot do but emphasize the love the mom mice has for her baby mice instead. It is a different way of showing the parental perspective when it comes to displaying love to their children and how there are many ways to do so. In the end of the book, the mom mice says to her child “ …I promise I will always love you and care for you. And I’ll do it with all my heart.”
The main message in the story is that parents have different ways of showing affection to their children. Just because a parent can’t do the same thing a different family is doing, does not mean they love their child any more or less. (
