I received a free ARC through NetGalley
5 stars
Starting with Mr. Bear and ending with a special delivery, Mr. Postmouse has a lot of deliveries to make.Thankfully he doesn't have to go to Mr. Snake's today. All along the way, he visits all of his neighbors, bringing them all their mail. He has an important job, and he does it well.
I really enjoyed this story. I chose it because the illustrations on the cover looked like my style. I wasn't disappointed when I started exploring the inside. Not only are the illustrations lovely, they also tell a story within themselves. Each page needs time to explore so that you can find everything going on. For example, the snake's house spans multiple pages, and you can see that he swallowed a car in the middle! The wolf's house has some stored sheep that are being saved by 3 little pigs. It really is just a magical exploration. Add to it the discussion you can have with your child about how delivering mail works, and it just completed the whole package. Win!
