Summary: What an adventurous and exciting book for young children! Mouse is trying to catch Gorilla and he goes through traffic, weather, construction and other hurdles to catch up with Gorilla. Each 2-page spread has a good explanation of where Mouse is in his mission and a reminder to the reader and listener of what to watch and to follow the arrows. Children will have to look at a lot of items and action occurring on the pages and figure out routes. It is a good book for helping children think about a situation and try to figure out the answers. The illustrations by Stephan Lomp are fun and, of course, colorful and lively. Children will pore over each page to see all of the fun and action. They will have to look closely to find the arrows in order to help Mouse in his journey but that's ok because that is what will help it to be a popular book. If you are looking for a problem-solving story for young children this should fit the bill.
Straight Talk for Librarians: This book will help children in solving tasks. They will have to concentrate to help the task at hand in the book because there is a lot of activity on each page. This is a fun, cute and positive book for children on problem-solving.
