MR. POSTMOUSE'S ROUNDS
Regular price
$20.00
- In this bustling picture book, Mr. Postmouse carefully loads up his wagon and sets off to make the day's mail deliveries to all the animals on his route.
- Via cross-section drawings, readers get to peer inside each home Mr. Postmouse stops at, and every one is different, depending on the animals who live there.
- For example, there's a hole in the middle of the kitchen floor of the Rabbits' home that leads underground to where they sleep and eat.
- The Birds live in a tree house, and Mrs. Octopus in a sunken shipwreck.
- Mr. Bear's house has a beehive on the roof with an attached pipe that brings honey straight into the kitchen.
- Furnishings in Mrs. Fly's home are stuck to the ceiling.
- Award-winning author and illustrator Marianne Dubuc is a master at clever, specific details in her drawings to bring each fully imagined animal and dwelling to life on the page.
- Though more whimsical and tongue-in-cheek than true, this is a terrific book for teaching children about the characteristics and diversity of animal life, including their habitats, their needs, how they live and what they eat.
- And it's also loads of fun.
- With so much going on across every spread, children will love poring over the pages on their own, discovering something new every time.
- Children are also likely to be inspired to create their own made-up stories about what activities are going on in each of the animal's homes in the book.
