BOARD BOOK Content: G.
PREK - OPTIONAL
Little mouse is trying to get home, but he
can’t remember the way. As he runs he
sees eyes in the night which belong to predators who are watching him. The book will identify the predator and then
say “run home little mouse”. The last page are eyes that belong to his family who have been waiting for him.
This book is really dark-the background is
dark (it is night) and the eyes are yellow and a bit scary for little kids,
especially with the idea that the animals are predators who would do the mouse
harm. The book is cool because one page
will show a hole with yellow eyes and then when you turn the page you can see
how the eye matches to the animal.
Overall effect is a bit scary for preschool kids, but it’s a cool
idea.
