Bear's House of Books by Poppy Bishop
4.0
The illustrations are adorable but there are a few reasons why I may not read it during storytime.
* I liked it for personal book loving reasons but this might be too long and not action packed enough for wriggly preschoolers.
* The little animals basically break into someone's house and the trespassing isn't addressed. I'd definitely have to take the time to talk about that with the kids. "Now, should mouse have let her friends into bear's house just because he had awesome books?"
* The little animals may love books but they don't treat them very well. Though this could also be a thing to discuss during a storytime. "Should we wash sticky stuff off our hands before we touch books? Especially books that belong to other people?" and that kind of thing.
