Pip and Squeak (2007) by Ian Schoenherr; I love this one for all ages.Kids love the mystery, the birthday party theme and all the ordinaryoutdoor objects (mail box, letter, laundry line, bird house, flamingoes).It is fun to go through and identify the objects as the two cute mice crawland climb there way to Gus's party.
Footprints in the Snow by Mei Matsuoka (2007); This circular little mystery has wolf trying to write a positive story about a wolf trying tofind a friend. Once he finds the friend guess what happens? He wants toeat him-it's a duck! Oh, no is he not able to write about a good wolf?The end of the story brings us back to the beginning.
Mouse's First Snow by Lauren Thompson (2005); This story depicts afather/son relationship-two gray mice-as they explore all you can do on asnowy day. It uses great sounds as they play; "zzzipity, zzzip!," "swish,wish", and "pitty pat" are perfect examples that young readers will love tochime in on as you read.
