A Mischief of Mice by Christie Matheson


A forest mystery paired with groups of animals. Where did the mice go? 

Thoughts: What a unique way to incorporate collective nouns into a story. Animal group names or collective nouns are one of my favorite things. I even did several events one summer using them as a theme. See those events here. I love the forest setting and the mystery. I can't wait to use this for a fall themed storytime. The extra information in the back of the book will likely spark an interest in collective nouns with a new generation.
