Review

A book in the "Mouse Math" series. This book uses a story of three mice roaming the humans' playroom while the people are away. Albert the mouse isn't paying attention and makes a huge mess and his friends grab additional mice to sort all of the toys and put them away before the humans and, more importantly, the cat come home. These books are well done. The concepts of sorting and problem solving are well-illustrated. The colorful pictures, likeable mouse characters, and clear explanation of the sorting process make this an engaging and accessible book. Grades pre-K-2. Recommend.

Overall Book Score: very good
