MRS. BETSY
FIELDMOUSE BORROWS AN EGG, written by Barbara Bockman and illustrated by Elexis
King, is an endearing picture book perfect for children ages 3-7.
The best laid
plans often go awry as Mrs. Betsy Fieldmouse finds out when her mission to bake
a birthday cake for a friend, Mrs. Tillie Beaver, runs into a snag…she doesn’t
have an egg. So begins a circular
process of calling on friends in a time of need with a nice little surprise at
the end. Mrs. Bockman uses lively
language (“twitchy whiskers,” “button nose,” “bushy ring tail”) and a
repetitive manner in story telling that children will enjoy reading over and
over again.
Ms. King’s
creative and colorful illustrations engage children and give life to Mrs.
Bockman’s text. MRS. BETSY FIELDMOUSE BORROWS
AN EGG is a fun picture book which teaches children about the joy of helping
others and taking pride in doing so.
Highly recommended!

Another adorable book from Guardian Angel Publishing. The mouse is so cute. I can see young readers following along in search of an egg. Thanks for sharing, Karin.
