Builder Mouse

Builder Mouse 

Written and Illustrated by Sofia Eldarova 

Clarion Books, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, [2016], Ages 3-6

This is a story about two mice who are friends, Edgar and Toby. Edgar loves to build things out of leftovers and Toby will always eat what Edgar built.  Edgar goes off to find a new friend who will appreciate his talents.

The author uses lots of adjectives to describe what is happening throughout the story.

The illustrations of this book are done in watercolor, pastel, and pencil.  They are bright and colorful pictures and they go along with the plot of the story.

I really enjoyed this book! It had a cute storyline and I would 100% recommend this book to others.  This is a great book that shows what friendship is really all about and would be appropriate to read with preschoolers and kindergartners.
