Despite the fact that cartoon animals are seen everywhere, the attention to detail in their environment and objects such as automobiles and clothing are stunning for a children's book of this kind. I first read this book a long time ago as a child, and absolutely loved the creativity in the artwork and the subtle lessons taught. And "Is this the House of Mistress Mouse?" I could go on and on, there are so many fun and unusual stories and interesting pages.įun reading for young ones, and great nostalgia for adults! I also love "Polite Elephant," who "knows the right things to say and do." And the counting story, "Whisper in My Ear." They have to whisper so they won't wake the baby mice but the baby mice are jumping on the bed. In fact, this one was replaced in the later versions. You don't see children's stories like that anymore. It talks about him hunting seals, and Mrs. (A daddy.) These longer stories weren't my favorite, except for the story "Pierre Bear," which is funny because it's so very politically incorrect. And "The Bunny Book" by Patricia Scarry, where everyone asks Baby Bunny what he wants to be when he grows up. It shows the bunny in four different seasons. Little Miss really liked "I am a Bunny" by Ole Risom. Legomeister spent hours pouring over all the vehicle pictures, and we loved to read the nursery rhymes and stories. It's missing the cover and some outside pages. This book was my husband's when he was a child.
