Livingstone Mouse by Pamela Duncan Edwards & Henry Cole

I find great joy in discovering lesser known children's books with delightful illustrations and a great story line..  This would be a great Five in a Row type book to consider..  Livingstone Mouse presents many interesting animals and insects to explore such as the click beetle, cockroaches, a cricket, a raccoon, rats, a bat and of course mice..   Livingstone the famous explorer of China could be studied while enjoying this book.  Also, this would be a great time to explore the 5 senses of smell, taste, sight, feeling & sound as many are characterized in this lovely book.   I love the play on words regarding "China".  Hope you investigate this book with your little ones..  Would  love to hear about one of your favorites..
