Ava and Dean Squeakerton live in a big white house with their
family and friends. They are mice and they live in the actual White House in
Washington DC. When a new president moves in with her kids (and cat!), the
mouse siblings are determined to obtain a Lego for their collection. But they
are taking some big risks; will the be stepped on by a mover, trapped in a
room, eaten by a cat, discovered by humans, or all of the above? Includes cute
simple illustrations.
This is an adorable book that contains quite a few interesting
facts. I think students will be intrigued by the idea of a mice navigating the
White House and its dangers. There is both a mouse pair of siblings and a human
pair, so students can relate quite easily to the characters. The illustrations
make the book longer but allow for easier comprehension for younger readers,
perfect for 1-2 graders.
