Bookroo's summary
In a house bustling with 25 mice, one stands apart. While the others scurry in unison, this mouse's independent streak becomes crucial when a cat threatens their safety. As the cat pounces, twelve mice dash one way, twelve another, but the lone mouse zigzags unpredictably, outsmarting the feline foe. Can this clever mouse's unconventional approach save the day? With simple text and charming illustrations, this tale of individuality and bravery is perfect for young readers eager to embark on their reading journey.
From the publisher
In 1957, Harper published its first I Can Read title, Little Bear, written by Else Holmelund Minarik and illustrated by Maurice Sendak. Large type, simple vocabulary, chapter-like divisions, and decorative pictures made Little Bear perfect for emerging readers
