review 1: This book was a very cute one for very young readers. It had repetition in it, so kids can learn pattern from it. It also had very simple sentences making the plot very easy to understand. The mouse hides an apple in the ground and calls it "my secret". When each of the animals come to ask what the mouse is hiding the mouse says "Its my secret and i'll never tell", then the apple eventually turns to an apple tree and the secret is out! The mouse learns that a secret is better when you have friends to share it with!
review 2: Little Mouse's Big Secret by Eric Battut is a cute tale of a mouse who wants a juicy apple all for himself - his personal secret. When he buries his treasure it begins to grow. while he tells other inquisitive animals it's his secret. After... more sprouting, growing, leafing out and blossoming, his secret produces apples taht fall to the ground. Mouse then discovers that "sometimes ... secretsare even better when you share them," letting his fellow animals each have apples.This cute story teaches the morals that one shouldn;t be greedy, and sharing is more fun than not sharing. The text is repetitive and predictable in a good way. The simple illustrations let the reader share in what mouse doesn't see happening behind him. The squirrel, bird, turtle, hedgehog, rabbit and frog all happpily share apples in the end. Too bad the book isn;t larger to more efffectively share in a storytime setting. For one on one sharing and with a Small group.For preschool to first grade, sharing, seeds, trees, animals, apples themes, and for fans of Eric Battut. less
