The author's illustrations were a lot better
Marjorie Flack, the author of this book was an amazing illustrator, so I'm not sure why they chose a new illustrator when they reissued this 1930's book. Flack's illustrations are so true-to-life. You can still find copies of the original, although they are rather expensive. I think it's worth it though. You can see some of Flack's stellar work in the Angus books.

This review is from: Walter the Lazy Mouse (Hardcover)
Walter is a lazy mouse. He is so lazy that he never gets up for school. He doesn't get up until everyone else has left. Finally his family forgets about him and move out, leaving him behind. Walter sets off to find them. He winds up on his own island and makes friends with some frogs. He tries to teach them math and reading, but since he never got up in time for school, he gets most of it wrong. He decides to go back to school and finds his family again. Walter finally learns to be independent and responsible. I liked this book as a child and it is one of the first ones my oldest daughter read on her own. A lot of fun.
