It's a special day for a mouse kin named Mousekin. She's getting presents and a big cake from Mouse Mom and Mouse Dad. So what day is this special? Aw, c'mon! We all know! But Jane Moncure likes to write stuff like this to teach new words to preschool kids 2-5. Cos really it's their special day too.
Three stars
Moncure makes every day a special day for kids!
