Dick King-Smith, WWII vet turned English farmer, is best known for his award-winning Babe, the Gallant Pig. (No, I haven't seen the movie.) This mouse called Wolf stars in a clever (borderline quirky) story of courage, creativity and general niceness. Jon Goodell's happy competent line drawings are just right. A good read-aloud, A Mouse Called Wolf provides Talking Points on Fate, not killing anything, and several musical terms that were new to me. Reading level = 3.9; Let's give it a 4 for both Quality and Acceptability.
