4.0 out of 5 starsStepping out
By E. R. Bird HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on September 27, 2009
Format: Hardcover
Jeff Smith. Unwitting hero of children everywhere. It's kind of a backwards story, but I like how Smith rose to fame. He got huge in the comic and graphic novel world, producing great works like the "Bone" series and the reboot of "Shazam!". Then Scholastic Graphix comes along, repackages "Bone" for the kids out there, and suddenly comics are deemed something kids, as well as adults, can enjoy. All well and good but Smith never really wrote specifically for children. Not until now, that is. For the first time ever this master of the pen has decided to try his hand at the great experiment known as TOON Books. The premise: Simple graphic novels for early readers. The kinds of books that bear more similarities to "Go, Dog. Go!" than, say, "Tintin". With "Little Mouse Gets Ready" Smith has joined everyone from Art Spiegelman to Harry Bliss with his own very simple tale. Mousewear is now revealed.

When mama tells Little Mouse that it's time to get ready to go to the barn he knows just what to do. Being a big mouse, he's going to get dressed all by himself. With simple instructions, Little Mouse leads readers through the perils of getting dressed. For underpants "Just be sure to get your tail in the tail hole." For trousers, "I have to sit down to put my pants on.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsIt never explained how to get dressed at all.
By ScotFlower on August 5, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I thought this book was going to teach how to get dressed in a fun way. It didn't. Besides explaining to look for the tag when putting on underwear, the rest of the book showed the mouse getting dressed but the dialog rambled on about things to do in a barn. It never explained how to get dressed at all. In the end, the dressed mouse is told my mom to strip because mice don't wear clothes... just lame. Plus cover bows outward so inner pages were wavy. I am returning and very displeased.

5.0 out of 5 starsLittle Mouse rocks both young and old readers!
By HeartyGuy on February 28, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I know that Jeff Smith is a cartoon guy but he can certainly right a darn good children's book too. We know where to find the Little Mouse story free to read on the Internet but I thought it was worth it to buy the physical book and have my grandson read it to me (easy reading for him now at six years old) and hopefully also read it to his 2 1/2-year-old sister. That is the plan! At 60 years old, I still enjoy this story; just wish I had the talent to write one as good. I "heartily" recommend this excellent children's book— very engaging and creative.

5.0 out of 5 starsKids will love the book, and adults will love reading it to them
By GraphicNovelReporter.com on November 2, 2009
Format: Hardcover
Jeff Smith has always been in touch with his inner child, the one that loved comics from the get-go and got lost in their worlds of wonder and fantasy. That's been pretty evident throughout his career. You've seen it, of course, in his definitive epic Bone (if you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for? The time is now), and it shines through in his kidlike interpretation of Captain Marvel in Shazam! Even his new series, Rasl, which is for adults, contains that magic.

So it's no surprise that Smith channels even more of that energy into his kid-friendly new book, Little Mouse Gets Ready, from Toon Books. Toon's philosophy is to create works that bridge the gap between picture books and graphic novels--big, bold images told sequentially with word balloons and text guiding young eyes through the story.

As expected, the story is quite simple. As you may have guessed from the title, a little mouse gets ready (meaning he gets dressed), and he narrates all along the way. That's about it (well, he digresses in his talking, but still). And it's quite good, actually! Smith has always been talented with crafting fun dialogue that kids and adults can both appreciate, and his art is a continuation of the early greats (tinged with a style all his own). So Little Mouse Gets Ready is a classic-looking comic in the best possible sense.

Kids will love the book, and adults will love reading it to them. It's funny, charming, and just really well done.

4.0 out of 5 starsHelp kiddos learn to get ready on their own with a bit of a twist at the end.
By Danielle M. Smith VINE VOICE on June 30, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
It's time to go to the barn, but before Little Mouse can go he's got to get ready. First the underpants, then socks and pants, next are shoes, and last is the shirt. With button holes, zippers and velcro Little Mouse can only go so quickly. Just in the nick of time he's able to finish up and make his way to the barn with his Momma. Only there's a little catch...do mice wear clothes?

Littlebug and Turkeybird are right, we've been reading this very cute comic nearly every for a couple weeks now and off & on for some time before that as well. It's an incredibly cute way to help little ones figure out just how to get all those clothes on and get them feeling great about their achievements. For Littlebug, it's suddenly spurred a new desire to do everything herself. Not only does she want to pick out the clothes she wears and dress herself, but nearly everything else she does she doesn't want help with. It's pretty funny most of the time and she almost always ends up with help from mom or dad, but it's neat to see her growth. And I absolutely love that it got started by reading a book.

Little Mouse Gets Ready is perfect for young kiddos just learning how to do the basics. Not only will this spur a desire for more independence, but it will also help them strive to try harder. Little Mouse isn't always able to accomplish his tasks right away and the harder he tries the more likely he is to get it. It's something important for us all to learn, the famous quote, "If at first you don't succeed than try try again." We've struggled with helping her see that sometimes it's okay to ask for help because of this, but that's also part of growing up and I know she'll learn as she goes. A wonderful book, especially for those comic book fans, with a fantastic way to show little ones just how to get ready to go out!
