Library Mouse

review 1: Library Mouse goes on adventures both real and imagined in the library with his new friend Sarah.It was great in the story how Sarah stretched Sam to get out of his comfort zone a little and try new things, but Sam also teaches Sarah new things about the books around her. Both friends get something great out of their encounters (even if Sam's life may be a little shorter if he continues to follow all Sarah's hair-brained schemes). A fun book that does a good plug for using library resources for research, but it just lacked oomph.
review 2: Sam is a little mouse who lives in the library. He loves to read books about adventures and explorations, and one night when he was reading, he meets another library mouse named Sarah. Sarah loves to explore different parts o... moref the library, especially the top shelves that Sam has never even considered climbing up to. Together Sam and Sarah go to places in the library they had never seen before and bravely embark on fun adventures that Sam writes about on his own. I think this would be a great story for young readers, from second grade and lower, because it has simple language, attractive pictures, and Sam and Sarah are relatable main characters. Sam is shy and likes his comfort zone, while Sarah is brave and likes going on adventures. This would be a good tool to teach students that it is okay to try new things, like going to school for the first time, and about bravery. It would also be a great way to get children excited about the library and reading books, and I would use it to show the students to explore and read books they may not have thought of picking up before, and to be open to learning new things.Kirk, D.
