The idea of this book is a neat one, but I found it to be a little scattered for my taste. On a two page spread, the left side says one line about the activities of the inside mouse and the right side says one thing about activities of the outside mouse. Inside vs. Outside.
The first time I read this I read it twice. Once reading only about inside mouse and once reading only about outside mouse. I now find that if I just add the First line of the story (Inside my house there is a mouse/Outside my...more

This science literature book is a great book to bring up the topic of habitats. It is a way for students to think about how similar animals have different types of habitats. Sometimes the difference of habitat is by choice and sometimes it is by force. However, what is important to focus on is the difference of the animals because of their habitats. This would also be a good book to talk about adaptation.

The detailed bold illustrations are really fantastic. This is a great example for how different animals live and what their environments are like. Great when introducing children to concepts of pets and domestication or possible urban vs rural environments. I love love love the illustrations. There's just so much detail richness. It's kinda mesmerizing and overwhelming.

After long journeys, an inside mouse and an outside mouse each arrive at opposite sides of a window and press their noses up against it to say "Hello!" Did they just meet today? Or do they visit every day?

Like Country Mouse and City Mouse

The use of animals is fantastic to me everytime. It draws children in. This book presents adventure through the path of two mice. It gives opportunity to compare and contrast the inside events from the outside events. Dynamic illustrations.

THis is a great book to use for math with younger students. It focuses on positional words. Kids will enjoy this book because it rhymes and it allows you to get them involved in the reading.
Jen
Tale similar to city mouse/country mouse where one mouse lives inside and one lives outside. They arrive at the small window, meeting each other to say hello. Cute little tale.

Very very simple text, contrasting the urban and rural lives of two mice. Best read close up to relish the beautiful, detailed illustrations.
Beverly
Wonderful story contrasting outside and inside, and the two mice who finally meet at the window. Great for reading to pre-school children.
Christiana Tarpley
This is a great book for positional words, there is rhyming as well but the main purpose is positional words (math).
Hafidha
Wonderful drawings with unusual patterns. Cute story, good vocabulary. Kidlet loves this one.
