A circular mouse tale

My boys, ages 3, 5, and 6 LOVE this book! Even with repeated readings over the course of two years they have remained engrossed in the travels of the little mouse as he leaves his home and embarks on several accidental adventures through town. They are always concerned about whether he will be able to find his way home again...he does. The pictures tell the story, so it is perfect for little ones to "read" to each other or their parents. After reading the book, each of my boys became more aware of how different systems operate together, i.e., when people need things, they travel to different stores or locations to get them by different modes of transportation.
