A STORY OF FRIENDSHIP AND TRUST,
This review is from: Mouse Island (Hardcover)
Young readers that I know cannot resist the stories of Eve Bunting. Pair this warm, winning tale with illustrations by Dominic Catalano and you have a book that's sure to please five to seven-year-olds.
This time out Caldecott Medal winner Bunting introduces a lone island dweller - Mouse. Not only does he live alone, but he's very self-sufficient. Mouse finds plenty to eat, is quite safe, and really has no responsibilities. Nonetheless, he is not content. He know there is something missing but has no idea what it is. One day his friend Herring Gull dropped in, and Mouse described his feeling of emptiness. Gull thought he needed to see the world and offered to fly him around. Mouse declined with, "I'm afraid of flying." Then one day Mouse looked out and saw that a fishing boat was sinking. Fortunately, a lifeboat came and saved three men. But, the rescuers overlooked one small head bobbing in the water. "Hold on!" Mouse shouted, and he jumped in to save whoever or whatever it was. Youngsters will be surprised at who Mouse finds, and learn a valuable lesson in friendship. - Gail Cooke |
