BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Billy McGill loves his solitude - it's quiet and peaceful on top of his hill, but then, he discovers a mouse in his house and brings a cat back from town to chase it away. Then a dog to chase the cat and a bear to chase the dog . . . Soon, Billy's house is full of all kinds of animals and people, and so much noise that Billy leaves to find a new quiet place. But after the hubbub of people and pets, Billy realizes peace and quiet aren't the best thing all of the time.
I loved the poetry - the cadence was nice and the rhymes were fun. This will make a superb read aloud. It's humorous and just delightful. The illustrations are whimsical and fun. There's even a tiny mouse hiding in every picture. I'm sure this will be a favorite!
