Love It
I read Ned Mouse with a boy I tutor who normally hates to read. We both loved it. The writing is clear and easy to read with out being simplistic. My student loved the constant jokes and puns. It's refreshing to find a book with enough plot for an older child at an easier reading level. This is definately an author I'll look for again.

This "children's" book is really a socio-political agenda in sheep's clothing.
The story's underlying message is that the vast majority of prison inmates are not dangerous and should not be in prisons.

This review is from: Ned Mouse Breaks Away (Paperback)
The story's underlying message is that the vast majority of prison inmates are not dangerous and should not be in prisons. Using his main character, Ned the mouse, the author attempts to draw empathy for these prisoners.
However Ned the mouse is not representative of the vast majority of real prisoners in countries such as Canada, UK, and US -- for Ned the mouse is a political prisoner. As such, the book takes a serious social debate and then misrepresents basic facts in order to support the author's side of the debate. |
