[Samantha · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Squeak Scouts are taking a field trip to the attic of a human home. During their trip they are given many opportunities to practice number sequencing. The main character's biggest concern is obtaining the perfect souvenir, which works out humorously as well as in a satisfactory manner. Following the story are a number of fun activities aimed at educators.

Great series with entertaining stories. Recommended as a book in support of the Common Core State Standards.

[Hannah Atwood · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a fun story about a young mouse who is about to go on a field trip with his squee-scout trop. To not get lost, they count off! There is a lot of repetitive counting in the book, so this would be a fun book for younger children who are newly learning how to count in consecutive order (ages 3-5)!
