Mahalia Mouse Goes to College

40 pp. | Simon | March, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-2715-0 $17.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Igor Oleynikov. After Mahalia Mouse gets trapped in a Harvard student's backpack, she matriculates and takes the college by storm. Based on a commencement speech by Lithgow, many of the rhymes ("students" with "imprudence"; "family lost" with "holocaust") will go over the heads of the picture-book set. The muted mixed-media illustrations likewise feature grown-up humor. Includes a CD of the story read by Lithgow.
