As a reader I thought that this book was great. It was very captivating, even to an adult reading it. The book was a fast read, that was able to hold your attention the whole time. The story of the small mouse was intriguing, and I imagine many school-aged children would enjoy reading it by themselves, or in groups, and both boys and girls. The story had so much going on that it held your attention, yet it was still easy to follow. The writer wrote the novel in such a way that it really got the reader involved which made it really interesting.
As a teacher I think that this book would be a great read aloud book, or a book for small reading groups. The book was separated into four parts, each focusing on a character, and then having them all come together in the end. This would be a good opportunity for students to break up into groups and explore each character more closely. The novel is also split up into shorter chapters, which makes it a good way to assign chapters each night without overloading students. Overall this was a great children's book and I could definitly see myself using it in my future classroom.
