Morris is one dapper mole.Great colors and character designs make this a fun book to look at. I particularly liked some of the pages that had Morris set against a detailed/patterned background. But it's not just fun to look at. The story is also a lot of fun to read, and has a great message. Triumph for the little guy, whose voice too often goes unheard. It's a really fun story, and has a great pace.
There was one thing I did think was worth mentioning though. On one page of the story Morris does face a moral dilemma of sorts, in that he finds himself in a situation where he has to lie in order to protect someone. Within the context of the story I don't think anyone could say Morris made the wrong decision (in fact he shows how good his character is by protecting someone who would not have protected him). Most kids may glide right past and not even give the lie aspect a second thought. But others might pick up on it, which could lead to a discussion on whether lies are ever appropriate, and what constitutes as appropriate/inappropriate.May make for a trickier discussion with a younger age group. But again, maybe I'm seeing something as an adult that most kids won't even consider in the story. And I also suppose it depends on your point of view whether it is a positive, or a negative to open up a discussion about this type of lie. I just did think it was worth noting.
I certainly don't want my inclusion of this to detract from the book in any way, as I did enjoy the book, and will gladly include it on my shelf to be pulled off and read anytime.
