Mouse Mess By Linnea Riley 🟌🟌🟌🟌🟌

I love this book; the rhymes actually make sense. My granddaughter giggled throughout the book. Once everybody is in bed for the night the mouse makes his way into the kitchen. He then proceeds to get out and eat all the foods he loves and leaves a great big mess. When he looks around the kitchen, he has the nerve to say, “These people need to clean their house”.

The simple story line will not hold the older kids’ interest but the 3 and under crowd will enjoy the book. The rhymes are easy to remember so that the non-reader can memorize them. The one-line per page makes this book perfect for the one last book before bedtime. It gets five stars from me.

Fun Activities: Create a mouse mess collage on a paper plate with pictures of a mouse and various foods from the book. Second idea is to have some of the mouses favorite snacks on hand to eat while reading the book.
