Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal
Gr 2—Molly Mouse has writer's block. She loves words, but none seem to come. She and her friends are trying to come up with the perfect gift for Turtle's birthday. Rabbit, Goose, Frog, and Pig all decide to draw a picture for him, and they all go off to where they do their best thinking. Molly sits on the porch, thinking. When each one returns with a picture of a tree, Molly comes up with a great idea. Together they create a book about the seasons, complete with Molly's new poem. Children will love this sweet story of friendship in which very different individuals are genuine in their efforts to please one another and work out problems with smiles and cooperation. Gorbachev's familiar watercolor, ink, and gouache illustrations fill the spreads with soft, gentle artwork and priceless animal expressions and body language. Pig wears a pink frock, Goose favors a yellow and gray striped shirt, and Mouse is charming in red. A great idea for one-on-one sharing or a read-aloud.—Carolyn Janssen, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH
Kirkus Reviews
Molly the mouse does not have an idea for her poem. Soon friends arrive needing help with another idea-for Turtle's birthday present. When Rabbit decides to draw a flower, Goose, Frog and Pig want to do that, too. Molly knows something different must be done: "We need to think." Off goes each friend, energetically drawn in ink with a muted palette of watercolor and gouache, to run, swim, fish, snooze and think. Included on each of those spreads is a rounded vignette with Molly musing in a bright-red dress. When the friends return with another, but once again identical, idea, Molly is struck with a solution. Busy teamwork is the answer, and they "drew and painted and glued and stapled until it was finished." It is a gift made from the friends' art coupled with Molly's accompanying poems. Aiming right at preschoolers, Gorbachev deftly illustrates the frustrations and rewards of the creative process. Equally appealing for storytimes or one-on-one sharing-adding Molly to the bookshelf is a good idea. (Picture book. 3-6)
