Where are You, Mouse?

Where Are You Mouse? is a humorous, realistic story with a beginning, a middle, and an end.  Dad hears a squeak and goes on a hunt for the mouse in the house.  When he finally sits down, the kids figure out that the squeak has been coming from Dad’s shoes.  The story is told in dialogue and simple narrative close to oral language.

All the sentences are short and similar in structure.  Illustrations match the text directly and add information.  Capital letters are used for Dad and for the mouse when the dad addresses him directly.  Quotation marks are used in dialogue. Bold face, enlarged type, and exclamation marks are used for emphasis.  Onomatopoeic words are printed in interesting fonts.  The book concludes with an illustrated story sequence for retelling.

The high frequency words are inside and your.  Interest words include squeak, bang, and cupboard.  The positional words are into, in, up, down, inside, and on.
