No Batteries Required

I love the books by Charles Reasoner (and so does my toddler) they are unlike any other because each one is packed with things to discover and have excellent illustrations. Each page has the mice doing various different things and it's fun to point to a mouse and ask "what is this one doing", and then it becomes a game. We also love the fact that the story rhymes and is interactive without batteries! (PS I bought this at Wal-Mart for around $3!).

This book is very cute

This book is a great idea and well executed. First, the illustrations are fantastic! Very bright and cheery and incredibly cute. The story is also very cute. It follows the story of the woman who lived in a shoe with far too many children, only in this case it's a family of mice. The story explains how the baby mice don't help with any of the chores which isn't very nice to the mommy mouse. The mom talks to her kids and sets some rules, then the shoe stays clean with everyone's help and the baby mice can still have fun even though they're now helping to clean. The story moves very quickly with only a few lines of text per page. Everything rhymns which makes it flow even faster. Of course the big feature in this book are the cutout pages. As you read one page, there are little windows that let you look at the next page to see what's coming. My 19 month old daughter loves to use these cutouts to help turn the pages. This is a very cute story that's very ell presented.
