* "Children's literature offers a long tradition of clever mice who
accomplish amazing feats, and Patterson and Grabenstein's Isaiah
seems destined to join them. Here's hoping this unique hero returns
soon with further adventures."--Booklist (starred review)
* "Patterson and frequent collaborator Grabenstein offers this
charming tale of Isaiah, a blue (yes-bright blue!) mouse, and his
effort to break his family out of a very bad place. Sutphin
provides black-and-white spot illustrations that recall the great
mouse protagonists of the mid-20th century. With smart witticisms
to launch each quick-paced chapter, Isaiah is truly a mouse that
roars."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
*"Though this story has strong messages of accepting differences,
finding common ground and the courage to be yourself, and loving
your enemies, it remains lighthearted and funny. Young listeners
will love it."
--Booklist (starred review, audiobook edition)
"A fun, relatable tale with...a strong message about focusing on
the things we have in common, not the ones that divide us. Word of
Mouse will tickle the funny bones."--Common Sense Media
"As Isaiah comes to recognize his own skills, courage, and
self-worth, he emboldens others....Isaiah's friendship with a human
girl named Hailey (it's implied she has albinism) further drives
home the novel's themes of celebrating individuality and belief in
oneself. Sutphin's detailed line drawings pair perfectly with this
sweet tale."--Publisher's Weekly
"Brilliant, fast-paced, and loaded with wisdom, humor, and
boldness, Word of Mouse is pitch-perfect in every way."--The Times
Herald
