No Room for Napoleon

Adria Meserve No Room for Napoleon; illus. by Adria Meserve. Unpaged/ Farrar, Strauss & Giroux, 2006 ISBN-13: 978-0-374-35536-4 $16.00 (Preschool)

“Napoleon is a small brown dog with BIG ideas” (Adria). What an interesting approach to catching a reader’s attention before taking them on a wild ride to an island with a dog, bunny, bear, and crab! No Room for Napoleon is an outstanding book by Adria Meserve to share with adventurous youngsters in a late preschool or early primary classroom. Meserve does a remarkable job at catching her reader’s attention right from the get go in her entertaining fiction picture book. The brightly painted pictures make the reader feel as if they were on the island with Napoleon, living the dream of a dog.
