This review is from: Alexander, the Old Town Mouse (Hardcover)
I bought my 3 nieces a book and they love it when I read it to them -- very colorful and easy to follow along. It's a fun way to teach history about a very historic city.

For Parents and Children!,

This review is from: Alexander, the Old Town Mouse (Hardcover)
Alexander, The Old Town Mouse is one of my sons' and my favorite books! My 3 & 6 year old boys (and I) adore the detailed illustrations and the fun-filled story of Alexander's "mousequerade ball". Alexander's creativity is second only to that of the author & illustrator of this book.This is just on of the Barnes' FABULOUS children's books!
