Charlie & Mouse by Laurel Snyder

Cover image for Charlie & MouseOne of my goals for the new year is to read more nonfiction and intermediate books.  I picked up this one thinking it was an intermediate, but it is actually an early reader. It is about the daily life of Charlie and his younger brother, Mouse.  They wake up every morning next to each other in bed.  They like bed time stories, neighborhood parties, and Popsicles.  The book contains 4 mini stories and is illustrated with charming ink and watercolor drawings. This book has very low level vocabulary, but a quaint kind of charm.  It reminds me a little of the Little Bear books. It has received some starred reviews and ended up on some Best Books lists. (2017, 36 p.)
