I've been looking for a copy for years. ( ) This book changed my life as a kid! I checked it out from the school library so many times that the librarian ended up just giving me the book! It is a great book to have your kids read and think about. Its a great story on laziness and will really make them think twice about doing nothing all day. I don't think it is still being published at it is very hard to find but if you do pick it up and give it to the laziest kid you know! Walter is a lazy mouse. He is so lazy that he never gets up for school. He doesn't get up until everyone else has left. Finally his family forgets about him and move out, leaving him behind. Walter sets off to find them. He winds up on his own island and makes friends with some frogs. He tries to teach them math and reading, but since he never got up in time for school, he gets most of it wrong. He decides to go back to school and finds his family again. Walter finally learns to be independent and responsible. I liked this book as a child and it is one of the first ones my oldest daughter read on her own. A lot of fun. no reviews | add a review
