A Picture Book for Emergent Readers
By: Rose Fyleman
Illustrated by: Lois Ehlert
Mice is a cute book that follows two mice that are friends. The story is simple: what do these mice do, what do they eat, how they behave and what they look like. The background to the book is black, and the mice are cut out of fabric. The words are large and white, and has about 7 (at the most) words on a page. What is interesting about this book is that the pictures of items inside the book are labeled. This is great for young children who are emergent readers. They can notice pictures with words, as well as sentences with few words. Plus, it had a cute ending that children will enjoy! Mice is a great book that will motivate young emergent readers!
Loved seeing this book in person! So many activities to do with it. Really can touch several social justice elements. Thanks for sharing!
