This book is about four mice, that are on the front cover, named and numbered on the shirts. These four mice decide to go into the dark forest and find a dark house, that they sneak into and in the house they find a monster. This monster is huge with yellow eyes and they run after it.
This story is for short, with minimal words, but the main point of this story is to learn colors, and numbers.
It is much easier to show through the pictures of how the book works. It is comic book like, and most of the saying have colored details. So when you are reading to a child you can easily say well what color is the house...It says its DARK BROWN. Stuff like that is what is beneficial to the children, and being that this is such an easy read, you can read it to children as young as 2 years old.
This book is really cute and I think that the idea behind it is funny because the four mice are brave entering a big scary house and running after a monster that their are frightened of, but its an old fashioned children's book that will get the children to start recognizing colors.
This book sounds awesome for little kids! Especially since it's not the stereotypical book of the main characters running away from the monster, they are chasing it! I think this can show children that anyone can conquer their fears. Great moral lesson as well as learning numbers and colors.
ReplyDeleteWhen you were presenting this book, I really liked the idea behind it. I think that I would use this book with very small kids, ages 2-4 who are learning their numbers and colors. The moral of this story is cute, and the pictures go right along with it.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an awesome book for young kids. I love how there is a twist on the story, and that the kids learn colors and numbers as well.
