The Library Mouse

The Library Mouse by Daniel Kirk. Library Mouse is a heartwarming story about a small mouse that lives inside the library of a school. He enjoys reading, and one day decides to write stories of his own to add to the library. He writes stories about himself and everyone in the library is anxious to meet this mysterious writer because everyone that reads his stories finds them to be amazing. The librarian decides to have a meet the author day so that the author of the books can be revealed to the children. Library Mouse does not want anyone to learn of his true identity, so on meet the author day he sets up a shoe box with a sign that tells the children to look inside the box to see who the author is. When the children look in the box they see a reflection of themselves. After this, all of the children are excited to write stories of their own because the mysterious author has changed the way that they feel about reading and writing. I highly recommend this book for early readers because it really gets them excited about reading, and makes them want to read and write.
