**********
"Good book with themes such as gossip, collaboration, friendship, forgiveness. I taught it with second grade students and they loved it. We took it to a story map and wrote a summary about it. It has a few opportunities to teach inference because it says that mouse turned a bright shade of pink-and many of the students didn't understand that he was embarrassed or ashamed."--from Melanie on Goodreads
