Fourth of July Mice! (Green Light Readers Level 1)

This was a great book about the activities of one mouse family on the Fourth of July. They begin their day with a family parade, led by mommy mouse, with two children following and daddy in the end. There is also a stuffed mouse that is also a part of the family. After their parade they stop for a cheese and sunflower picnic lunch, “Munch, munch, crunch, crunch, crunch!” After lunch they played a game of baseball with many different types of insect friends, followed by sack races. Three of the four mice jumped into the water and slid down a rock, having a great time. The fourth mouse was scared of the water, but when then his stuffed mouse started to float away so he bravely jumped in to save Mr. Mouse. This mouse family had a fun and busy Fourth of July, with sparklers and fireworks at the end.
