Marky & the Mouse

I have the responsiblity of finding quality but fun books for readers of all types to not only enjoy the stories, but leaving the reader wanting more. Marky & The Mouse is exactly such a book. It not only is an excellant choice for reluctant readers because of the text, but also very enjoyable. It is written as if a real eight year old is telling you about his life and troubles not only with his 11 year old sister, but a MOUSE that is in his house. This book is almost two stories in one with the tales Marky spins about his sister, but also the challenge his dad is faced trying to catch the mouse. The artwork is done just as well as the story, and feel this is a great new series that every library or household would enjoy.
