Title: Good Early Reader
Review: This early reader contains four stories featuring Mouse, who lives upstairs in a tree, and Mole, who lives downstairs. The four stories are:"Clean and Tidy," in which Mouse and Mole work out a solution on who should sweep his or her house at what time of day;"The Invitations," in which Mouse and Mole each invite the other over for a meal, only to discover that the food Mole likes, Mouse doesn't, and vice versa;"Kind, Good Neighbors," in which Mouse and Mole each realize that the other didn't enjoy the meal;"The Boat," in which Mouse and Mole go rowing in a boat that has only one oar.The stories, sometimes subtly, sometimes openly, illustrate cooperation, friendship, thoughtfulness, consideration of others, and working together. There is a bit of sameness to the stories and they're a bit predictable, but children who are beginning to think of others will enjoy them.
