Mouse Tail Moon

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Maggie Kneen. The short poems in this cycle set between sunset and dawn, written in the first-person voice of a field mouse, convey the mouse's thoughts on such relevant subjects as nighttime, food, and other animals. Repetition, rhyme, and descriptive language make these observations a good choice for reading aloud, yet they're accessible to independent readers as well. The watercolor illustrations provide atmosphere.
