“When children have frequent opportunities to hear texts written by others, and to relate those writings to their own experiences, they can practice composing stories in their heads.
They are refining the understandings they already have about patterns, sounds, rhythms, and styles of language.” —Margaret E. Mooney
“There Was a Mouse is a beautiful BIG book that lends itself to many opportunities for building comprehension in wonderful ways!” —Dr. Connie Hebert, National Literacy Consultant, Reading Professor
