Reviews

[Joshua Piorier Sr. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I let my kid rate books as we add them to GR, our little fun reading activity. Of course they are always 5 star books but I can completely agree. This is a fun book and has a great lesson to be learned.

[The Brothers · Rating 4 out of 5]

A neat story about a mouse who woke up feeling like she could conquer the world - or in her case, fight a bear!

Illustrations are fun to look at.
