The Bookstore Mouse

Rating:
Summary: Fun romp for elementary school readers
Review: A mouse and a hero with a quest, what can be more entertaining or relatable for a young reader? For those young readers who have already begun their love affair with books this will be especially appealing. You can almost smell the leather books in the bookstore that the mouse lives in. The Amazon editorial introduction is correct: you will be reminded of the Phantom Tollbooth with all the yummy and delectable words the mouse and the reader will munch on!

The story is short enough to keep their attention while it's compelling enough to keep them reading. For those who enjoy reading to their little ones, the chapters are a good length to read one (or maybe two if they're good) a day/night.

Depending on the reading skill level of the child, I'd recommend this for readers in Grades 2-5.

Summary: Fun and inventive.
Review: I thought it was inventive because the mouse lives on books. He eats words out of books and he protects himself from the sleeping but dangerous cat by using sharp words but in the end he can't protect himself because the cat can't read. It's fun because of the adveture the mouse has with the young scribe. The ending was fun too.

Summary: An amusing short book
Review: When I first picked up The Bookstore Mouse I was thinking "gee, another new library book, maybe this will provide about an hour of reading," but when I opened the book at home I got more than I had bargained for. I became entoiled in the affairs of a mouse and a wanna be knight. The way the book was written was original, the mouse knowing that he was reading and the knight and the way they use this advantage of information to help themselves throughout the adventure he was having. I really enjoyed this book. By A.M2
