Product Description
Review
In quietly animated pink-toned pictures and resonantly simple words, Papa mouse puts his seven sons to sleep with seven bedtime stories. Lobel's handling of the cloud that becomes a cat and frightens little mouse until his mother reassures him is basic without banality; there is an affecting absurdity, reminiscent of Frog and Toad, in the two friends - one very tall and one very short - who see everything at different eye levels ("Hello, roof" says one while the other bids hello to the floor) but view a rainbow together; and the account of the mouse who floods a whole town with his bath water has a fresh if finely tempered silliness. Once again Lobel demonstrates that a beginning reader can be gentle in humor, resourceful with limited vocabulary, and even subtle in simplicity. (Kirkus Reviews)
Product Description
As seven little mice are tucked up in bed their father tells them seven stories - one mouse tale for each young mouse. There are stories about little boats, wishing wells, long journeys, and a very dirty mouse who floods the town when he takes a bath.
