School by Emily Arnold McCully is a well loved book in our home. Being the youngest is hard, especially when your older siblings all get to go to school and you don't! My youngest tells the story again with a devilish smile as mouse sneaks out of her home and joins her siblings at school. Sylvie loves the idea that the little mouse can be a "big helper", as she says. McCully's ink and water color pictures are vibrant, yet soft as they show this adventure. This is a great book to get young children to tell a story in their own words and add details they see in the pictures. It is also a great book for helping children make inferences as to what they think is happening in the story from page to page.
