My son loves the previous books in the series, and this one is not bad, either. The drawing of the mouse peeking out from behind the book in class is fabulous, as is the blackboard sequence where he shows off his spelling and math abilities.But this title lacks some of the sparkle and mischevious charm that made the moose and the pig and the original mouse such lovable characters. It comes across as a bit uninspired, there's no crazy, yet logical, sequence to follow, just a series of interesting spreads of our mouse showing off his amazing skills. Skateboarding... whee. Basketball... whee. So what?The giggle that builds to a crescendo as you near the end of the other books is missing here, leaving you... wanting. So, it's back to muffins and pancakes and cookies for us.
"If you take a mouse to school he'll ask you for your lunchbox..." So begins Laura Numeroff and Felicia Bond's latest manic chain of events adventure, and little ones, familiar with this marvelous series, will know just what kind of trouble is coming next. Mouse is never quite satisfied. Once he's got your lunchbox, he'll want a sandwich, and a snack for later, a notebook and pencils, and he'll want to share your backpack. Once you get to school, he'll do a little math, some spelling, and a rather messy science experiment, that sends him to the bathroom in need of washing up. Then he notices the building blocks, and so on, and so forth, through the end of the school day and after, until the story comes full circle, and his boy companion ends up taking him back to school..... Ms Numeroff's lively text is entertaining and engaging, but it's Ms Bond's busy, bright and exuberant illustrations that make this picture book sparkle. Each colorful, action packed page is filled with special, humorous details, and youngsters will revel in all the fun as they watch this endearing little rodent wreak havoc and create chaos in the classroom. Though the story doesn't flow as smoothly as in the previous books of this series (If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, If You Give A Moose A Muffin, If You Take A Mouse To The Movies), and isn't quite as intricate or clever, If You Take A Mouse To School is still a comical, silly romp kids 3-7 will want to read again and again.
I bought this for my soon to be three year old daughter because she loves the other books in this series so much (if you give a mouse a cookie, a pig a pancake, etc.). I was glad to see mouse going to school. I am currently trying to warm my daughter up to the idea of attending a preschool. Thanks to mouse and his human boy friend school looks like a fun place to be. The boy in this story reminds me somewhat of myself. Always trying to satisfy the insatiable demands of a mouse or in my case the demands of a preschooler. Parents and kids will enjoy reading this book together. A great addition to the series.
This must be the 5th or 6th in this series that pairs author Laura Numeroff and illustrator Felicia Bond in a creative partnership that has spawned more than a few adorable characters and situations. While the bold watercolors are as enchanting as usual, the story is weak here, focusing on action and mischief rather than the charming overarching story arc that surfaces in their better efforts. This book is fine, but others in the series are better. Buy 'If You Take a Mouse to the Movies' and get Mouse .. School at the library.
If You Take a Mouse to School by Laura Numaroff is a great book to read to your younger brother or sister. The book If You Take a Mouse to School is also a good book to laugh at. There are so many things to laugh at. I think you should check this book out. The words are the best part. The words are way different than the pictures. For example, when the mouse goes to lunch they don't really show the lunch room, they don't even have chairs or tables. It was just something the mouse made with clay. However, it would've been better if the pictures said more. The book would be noticed more than what it is now. Also, I think kids love the pictures more than anything. I also love the way the book was written. And my favorite part is when the author says, "He might do a little math, and spell a word or two." This is written only once, but I really love the picture because it's funny. Each thing causes the mouse to have a better day. And the mouse makes you laugh so much, even if you've read it before. Also, everything the kids do, the mouse does too. This makes the story really hilarious.Of course, the mouse has a great day. If You Take a Mouse to School is something you should check out because the mouse is the funniest. That is why I recommend If You Take a Mouse to School. Young kids who love to laugh will enjoy it. With all the funny things, I think people of all ages will love this book. And my favorite character is the mouse because the whole book is about him .That is why I recommend If You Take a Mouse to School.
Laura Numeroff books are almost always great. This is another good one. It's fun for toddlers and preschoolers to see what the mouse is up to now and gives then a little hint about what goes on in school minus the shenanigans. Wonderful read!
My daughter (2 years old) loves this book. It's funny, cute and has wonderful pictures. It was so great she even fell asleep with it (a first).All of Laura Numeroff's books are worth adding to your collection.
My four year old son really likes mouse...Mouse is just as precocius as he. He has bonded with the mouse character they are kindred in spirit. I am excited about it all! In this book the mouse does things that my son thinks about doing or does. It is fun for him to learn that others share the same thoughts, and actions. These series of books have definitly touched his heart and I believe they will be stories that he will one day pass along to his children.
