Brief Summary and How to Use With Students:
A boy decides to take his mouse to school and must experience the exciting consequences of doing so. This is a good introduction to school and can allow you to find out what your students like to do. When reading aloud and looking at the pictures you can ask students what they enjoy about school. You can have them draw or write a story about what they like to hang up in the room and to later include in a lesson plan.
