A Book with Humor for Beginning Readers - a review of "Mice!"

"Mice!" is a book with one and two word sentences. It's vocabulary is very basic, consisting of the words: a, all, at, big, black, down, fast, few, gray, here, in, many, mice, nice, no none, out, over, slow, small, that's (the only conjunction), there, under, up, wait, and where. Despite this limitation (of 18 words), the book manages to tell a story about a lazy cat, his dog friend, and many, many mice. The dog sees the mice and tries to interest his sleeping friend in them, but lazy cat never sees the mice despite all their cavorting about. (My 3 y.o. thought it was funny.] Four Stars. [B-]. "Mice!" has 18 easy words in super short sentences. [Shorter than even the early Bob Books.] It tells the tale of a lazy cat and a house that is apparently full of mice. The artwork has humor and imagination. Example of text from first 4-pages follows: Mice!! Where? Here? No, there! [Told you the sentences were short ;-)]

Mice play cat and mouse

This well-plotted exercise in learning to read common prepositions is enhanced by the witty illustrations of a sleepy cat, an earnest dog, and a host of very ingenious mice. An unusually charming easy reader.
