- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5You should definitely read the Charlie and Mouse books. They are funny and tell a good story too. I think you will enjoy them very much! My favorite part in all of the books is when the boys try to surprise the mom with a birthday party.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Charlie and Mouse are going on a camping trip with their parents. On the car ride there and at the campsite, the brothers flex their imaginative skills to keep them occupied and entertained.This is the fourth book in a series that can really be read in any order. While typically I've loved the whimsy of the Charlie and Mouse books, this one just didn't strike me quite the same. I still enjoyed it, but it wasn't as good as the previous titles. That being said, one thing I did love about this book though was how much imagination plays a clear role. The brothers engage in all kinds of storytelling and pretend play, with a nary a plastic toy in sight. The family is also shown to be loving and engaged with each other in the present moment, not distantly scrolling through content on digital screens while only absent-mindedly paying attention to one another. The illustrations are in the same style as previous books -- a bit whimsical to match the tone of the text but somewhat realistic as well. The book is a good bridge for beginning readers who are beyond simple three-word declarative sentence type early readers but not ready for thick tomes that have more than a handful of short chapters.
