A big hit with my kids

My preschoolers have been asking me to read this multiple times every day since we took it out of the library a week ago. They are captivated by the story, as Slim and Jim encounter danger and manage to escape unscathed. They adore poring over the pages, pointing out the "silly" animals and other details in the warmly drawn pictures evoking the era of Dickens. A well-written book, and one I don't mind reading so often to them!

This is a Great Book! by Stephanie

I think that Slim & Jim, written and illustrated by Richard Egielski, is a great book because it talks about a special friendship. Even though it is about a mouse and a rat, it teaches about stopping people from acting in the same way, for instance like white people acted against black people. It is about a rat named Slim who saves a mouse named Jim. Jim falls into the water, and Slim saves his life. The mice don't like the rats in this book, but Jim ignores what others say about Slim because the others don't know Slim well enough to judge him. Jim and Slim become friends for life, and that changes what the other mice think about Slim. I think this is a good book because it tells you that "You shouldn't judge people before you get to know them." I think the illustrations are great, too! I think everyone would be interested in Slim & Jim.
