This is a great story for reading to young childen. My class loved the story of the house mouse and the field mouse both caring for the same pumpkin. Both were working towards a goal and very dedicated. Their hard work pays off when the pumpkin grows from the small size to bigger than a house. Clayton cares for the pumpkin during the day and Desmond does the same at night. So there is some repetition for the readers. When the mice meet they come to a compromise so each can enter their competition. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for an autumn or Halloween themed book.
