I love picture books! In my favorite one, If You Take a
Mouse to School, the mouse goes to school and makes a paper book, a mouse
house, he does complicated math and writes high level words. The pictures are vibrant, and have a lot
happening on the page. Most of the book
is composed of pictures. My mom used to read me this book almost every night
when I was younger. I always wanted to solve the subject of math the mouse used
in the picture, so I have been trying to find the different ways you can solve
math problems, and how to view simpler math in a higher exceptive. Also, sense
I was six I wanted to make a messy science experiment where it spills all over
the table.
If You Take a Mouse to School taught me how to be a
good friend, to enjoy being young, and put your friends before you. When the
mouse was assembling the mouse house, the boy held the blocks and was giving
them to the mouse when he could have been doing something else that he wanted
to do. They boy also shared his belonging with the mouse, so that the mouse had
the materials that he needed for his plans on what he wanted to do during
school. When the mouse forgot the lunchbox with his snack at school he started
crying. The boy comforted him and took him back to school even though they were
waiting for the bus and could have missed it. I think parents or adults should
read to young children. The more you prepare kids, the more they will have
success at reading and writing. My mom read to my sister and I when we were
young and we are really good at school. Being read to is one of the best things
ever.
