I Gave This Book 5 Roars! 🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
Why 5 Roars? When my son was small, he loved the "Mouse" books. I bought this book for my grandchildren to
read for Valentine’s Day. It is a simple and sweet way to teach younger children
about how each of us are special.
Critical Analysis: We are all special and have our own strengths and talents. Mouse helps to remind young readers of this idea. The board book is great for little hands and the illustrations are straightforward and colorful.
"This title follows Mouse as he makes valentines for
all of his friends," ~~ School Library Journal.
