I am over the top excited about this new three book release from Little Patriot Press including a book for each branch of government. Always we love reading, and books that educate are even better. Learning about the government is not always fun (unless a field trip is involved) but I think these books have managed to do it! Peter Barnes and his illustrator wife Cheryl have an incredible find in their teamwork and I'm really delighted to have discovered these books.

Marshall The Courthouse Mouse is adorable. The illustrations are fantastic and fun with an interactive where's the turtle feature that keep interest as well. The rhythm and rhyme of each and every page is attractive and pleasing to the ear. The concepts and vocabulary covered are great and can easily lead into a lesson on what's what in the U.S. Supreme Court. The mouse characters and mouse law is adorable in my opinion and a great, if silly, example to show just what we mean on concepts that are often times larger than a budding learners understanding. I'm so happy with this book!
