Little Mouse Has a Party
Steve Lavis
Hardcover
(Ragged Bear, Oct. 1, 2000)
Bright, cheerful, and inviting are the qualities which distinguish this friendly quartet of very first readers, intended for children just beginning to decode words on their own. Little Mouse's bustling activities are the perfect vehicle to introduce not only reading but also underscore such previously acquired concepts as colors, time, prepositions and sharing. Words are carefully matched to illustrations-insuring that the youngest reader is provided visual reinforcement. An endearing character, compelling stories, sturdy card-stock pages: the perfect answer to the ever-present demand for titles which make the bridge from read-alouds to read-alones.
