K-Gr 2-This third installment in the early reader series is as droll and true to life as its predecessors. The book is comprised of four chapters, each of which is a short episode in the lives of brothers Charlie and Mouse. They help their mom make shape pancakes, shop for her birthday present, "help" their dad in the way of all preschoolers, and finally work together to fix a problem and celebrate their family. VERDICT A recommended first purchase for newly independent readers. - Lisa Lehmuller, Paul Cuffee Maritime Charter School, Providence
