PUBLISHED REVIEW EXAMPLE

Going Home with Dad

by Simon Howe (Candlewick) 

Reviewer: Christine Irvin

A father mouse takes his child for a walk through the woods. Along the way, the two observe bugs and hornets and all manner of things. When the young mouse sees the bugs, he wants to know where they are going. His father says they are probably going home. This is a perfect picture book for children and their parents to enjoy together with its sweet message and its engaging illustrations. (Ages 4-8)
