Once a Mouse

Bibliographic Annotation: Brown, M. (1961). Once a Mouse. New York, New York: Simon &Schuster Children’s Publishing Division.

Annotation: This book was about a young mouse that was found by a hermit. The hermit consistently was caught in danger and the hermit used his powers to change and save the mouse. But soon the mouse gets caught up in his new found power of invincibility, and the hermit takes it all away leaving the small mouse to run far into the forest alone.

Genre: Folk tale; Picture Book

Grade Level: K-3

Who would like this book: Young children would really enjoy this story based on the use of magic and change of the young mouse. Children would also learn from this story and to understand not to take their friends for advantage but as true friends looking to help you succeed.

Rating/Response: 4 – I really enjoyed this book. I liked the pictures, they were extremely unique and unlike anything I have ever seen. The story had great meaning behind it as well.

One question before reading.: Have you ever wished you could turn into something else to scare off things you are afraid of?
