He assures readers that this picture book is going to be artistic and wordless. Or so he thinks! Rupert meets up with two other mice, but they won’t stop talking! They talk about wordless books, they talk about not talking, they talk about how the book will be visually stimulating, and what other […]

Jimey the Woodpile Mouse by Elar Ericsson — Perfect Picture Book Friday

April 17, 2015 by The Picture Book Review

[I received a review copy of this book from the publisher. No other compensation was received.] Jimey (rhymes with Eye Me!) the Woodpile Mouse is a beautiful, kind, and one of the most reassuring stories I’ve ever read. It is so well done that it stays with you long after you’ve read it, quietly reminding you not to worry because everything is going to be okay. My eldest son adores Jimey and we’ve read it a countless number of times. It […]

Ninja Mouse: Haiku by J.C. Thomas

January 5, 2015 by The Picture Book Review

[I received a review copy of this book from the author. No other compensation was received.] Ninja Mouse: Haiku, told in 17 haiku, is about a mouse that lives the warrior’s way. This book simultaneously entertains, teaches, and leaves you feeling contemplative. Ninja Mouse: Haiku has a serious, but friendly, tone to it. The graphic novel/heavy-lined illustrations make Ninja Mouse interesting and to juxtapose these images with an ancient form of Japanese poetry creates something new entirely. This is a fun […]

[I received a review copy of this book from the author. No other compensation was received.] Oliver, that city mouse! He thinks he’s so fancy and sophisticated!
