- Abstract
- en_US Through an oversight, I bought a new set of ABCMouse books replicating the earlier series published in 2012 and 2013. Like the other four books in this series, this book has seen slight changes in its 2016 printing, apparently the third printing. Four pages are added at the end of the book, two pages of advertisements including awards and two of vowel sounds. The early bibliographical information continues to mention “10% recycled paper” but the title-page has dropped reference to free apps. The book still apparently numbers the front cover as Page 1. As I wrote of the first edition, the book is aimed at younger children. In this version, the caught mouse is the last of a group that scrambled over the lion on the way home. This lion pities the mouse. There is neither laughter nor an offer by the mouse to do something in return. This version is careful to place the trap that catches the lion near the mouse's home. The most expressive piece of art shows the panic of the mouse just pounced upon by the lion's paw (12-13). The mouse's gnawing work is also well depicted (20-21). There are two pages of glossary at the back of this very sturdy book.
