Riassunto

A fun visit to the Pennydale Zoo brings even more excitement when Juniper Mouse discovers the Zoo’s very own Great Talent Contest. Anyone can enter and that means Juniper too.  But what will happen?  Is there enough time to practise?  With rhyme and vibrant illustrations the creative characters show that one CAN succeed with determination and practice. Even the underdog (or mouse!) can rise to the top.

Written entirely in verse with delicate, detailed illustrations, Gelos Publications delivers creative books for preschool and early school students, with a valuable life lesson for children and their families. Strong endorsements have been received from school teachers and librarians.

Recensione

Review: In this charming picture book, a timid mouse wins the day by using determination and hard work to overcome his fear of performing in public. The lesson, about the value of working toward a desired goal, has a clear subtext of healthy empowerment. The author nicely realizes the humorous mishaps and ebullient finale with colorful, fine-lined illustrations. A gentle, comic treat with a subtle lesson about building character. Reviewer: Kirkus Reviews Review: "My young students would become so frustrated when they could not master a task the first time. This darling story teaches the importance of practice. The quote 'I practiced and practiced and practiced again' would be a terrific class motto!" Reviewer: Peggy Albertine, Early School teacher 30+ years
