My seven year old really enjoyed this. It's really neat that the same characters show up in multiple books. Now we are reading The Tale of Major Monkey and we like it even better. These are great educational books for kids. They learn factual information in a story format. For example, they learn that a cowbird will lay her eggs in other birds' nests. Many of the characters are quite comical.

Another of Arthur Scott Bailey's delightful books for the chidren in your family, and the child that still remains within you. You will enjoy reading Dickie Deer Mouse more that your children will enjoy hearing it, and they will be captivated.
