Great For Second Graders

I received this book 30 years ago and loved it. My child read it for the first time this weekend. The story of Walter is so captivating and the illustrations are wonderful. Enjoy this book with your child.

Good read for 4-9 year olds

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.
