BUYING ADVISORY: Pre K, EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

A little mouse has found a hole in a book, as he goes through it, he finds things to count - 3 fish, 4 monkeys, and so on. 

 It is so exciting to see these new titles by Margaret Wise Brown! Although she passed in 1952, some unpublished manuscripts were found and are being illustrated and published. Kirsten Richards’ cute mouse has the best facial expressions as he interacts with the things he is counting. The narrative has repeats so as a read along it's perfect “then the mouse ran through the book...” I’m looking forward to sharing and counting with my grandchildren.
