Review

Shy little mouse is having a hard time finding a friend in this rhyming text. He goes from animal to animal, all photographed, and many brilliantly colored. For one reason or another, he rejects them all. One grumpy bird tells him he does have a friend and gives him clues to find the friend. It turns out to be the grumpy bird. The photographs may attract children. The animals seem to come from all over and to have no real relation to each other. The photographs are really the star of this so so book.

Overall Book Score: good
