He reminds her that he\u2019s Supermouse\u2014but even heroes have to sleep. And brush their teeth. All tucked in, Little Mouse notices the closet door is open. And . . . is someone in there? Did it just MOVE? What can a little mouse do? No\u2014the better question is, what would Supermouse do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a situation most 3, 4, and 5-year-olds can relate to, and some may even have solved the problem the way Little Mouse does. It\u2019s a slight tale and a basic graphic-novel layout with no more than two panels per page. Easily passed over, except that Jeff Smith is one of the premier graphic artists of his day, with such contemporary classics as the Bone series to hi credit. Also, the appendix offers tips on \u201cHow to Read Comics with Kids,\u201d which can help them develop their visual vocabulary at the same time as their literary vocabulary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bottom Line:<\/strong> A cozy introduction to an ever-more-popular art form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recommended-reading-at-redeemed-reader\">Recommended Reading at Redeemed Reader <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Book Reviews<\/strong>: Beginning comics artists can hone their skills with <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/comics-easy-as-abc-by-ivan-brunetti\/\">Comics: Easy as A, B, C<\/a><\/strong><\/em> and <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/redeemedreader.com\/comics-whys-hows-and-wherefores\/\">Draw Out the Story<\/a><\/em><\/strong>.
