The talents and traits of 26 amazing mice are revealed in a Seussian cornucopia of flaps, pop-ups, add-ons, pull-tabs, and acetate on-lays that explore the concepts of letters, size, color, time, and word recognition.
The Pop-up Mice of Mr. Brice ANNOTATION Flaps, strings, and push and pull devices to move the illustrations help introduce Mr. Brice's mice and their activities.
FROM THE PUBLISHER Illus. in full color. "The dizzying array of things-to-do is impressive in this busy-box version of a book. The text is a bouncy rhyming catalog of what mice do; the pop-up parts are a great deal of fun."Bulletin, Center for Children's Books.
FROM THE CRITICS Publishers Weekly The stars of Dr. Seuss's familiar title, first published in 1989, now appear in 3-D, in The Pop-Up Mice of Mr. Brice, illus. by Roy McKie. Wheels, flaps and other accoutrements, bring the mice to life in all shapes and sizes and boasting a variety of talents. A piece of string lets children learn to tie a bow along with Mary Rose, a pull of the tab helps them identify colors with Gertie ("the reading mouse") or times of the day with clock rider Waldo (thanks to a dial on the side of the page).
