If You Take a Mouse to the Movies (2000 original; edició 2000)

A great book for kids learning to read ( )

Middling for the series. I seriously wonder what the person doing all these things for mouse, moose, etc. gets in trade for all the buying and helping and so forth. Even so, one at a time, these are fun. ( )

I’ve never been a huge “Give a” fan. Some of the books are nice, but mostly not for me. I don’t care for the roundabout story. This edition is the special holiday edition that has craft ideas, recipes, and letters to Santa at the back. While I may not like this, I Know lots of kids who will. ( )

This is a silly holiday story that children would love. The language is very clear and simple. The wording is not descriptive, instead the illustrations really speak for the book. The illustrations are very colorful and engaging, as well as easy to see and interpret. The book is very well paced with an even amount of writing on each page. The characters are not very developed, but they really don't have to be. This is a very cute surface level book that could be brought around the holidays to read to children before bed. The plot was simply telling a happy story about bringing a mouse to the movies, and how he will use the popcorn. The title is misleading, as the mouse does not experience the movie, but really likes the popcorn. I feel that I would not use this book in the classroom because it only caters to children who celebrate Christmas and not other holidays. I think the big idea of this story is to just bring holiday cheer.
