Review

A new series introduces readers to a family (generations) of mice who live in the White House. On inauguration day two appealing young mice (Ava and Dean) learn that the new female president has two children. There journey takes them to the second floor where they seek a Lego to add to the mice family treasure room. Interaction with humans supply humorous events into a slightly historic and fun test.

The back pages contain a map of the second floor, factual relevant information as well as portraits of the Presidents through Obama. The illustrations will attract early readers and will help to hold their attention. Those who read this first book will want to find the next three additions on the shelves of their classroom. Recommended for K – 3 classrooms and public libraries who collect paperback easy reader series.
