A Theodore Seuss Geisel Honor Award Winner!! Praise for A
Brand New Day with Mouse and MoleThe stories are light, with simple
plots, and the lively and expressive watercolor illustrations add
energy and detail. A worthwhile addition to easy-reader
collections.--School Library JournalPraise for Abracadabra!
Magic with Mouse and MoleThese two are a lovely addition to the
pantheon of easy-reader pals.--School Library Journal, starred
reviewFrequent, small frames resembling comic-book cells are
sprinkled among the full-page illustrations, pulling the reader
forward. Warm nighttime charcoal-and-gouache hues make the magic of
Mouse's natural world warm and inviting to new readers.--Kirkus
Reviews[T]he artwork nicely reinforces the story's action, the
closeness between friends, and shared wonder in nature's
magic.--Booklist Praise for Upstairs Mouse, Downstairs Mole
The expressive bamboo-pen and watercolor with colored-pencil
illustrations capture the humor of the situations as well as the
emotions of the characters. With its controlled vocabulary,
repetition, and humor, this tale of friendship also introduces
opposites, homophones, and letter writing. A real
winner.--School Library journalKids will become more proficient
at reading and also come away with a lesson in
friendship.--Booklist
In their latest round of endearing adventures, best pals Mouse and
Mole suit up excitedly for a day of springtime bird-watching, but
before they can focus their binoculars, each of their subjects
flies away. Compromising and cooperating are the themes as the
friends find elaborate, creative solutions to their problems and
make a final project that celebrates their individual talents. Once
again, transitional readers will enjoy the well-paced text's
wordplay (including lots of puns); the gentle, realistic friendship
conflicts; and the ink-and-watercolor artwork that captures the
story's humor, action, and feeling.-- Gillian Engberg,
Booklist
