5 Books 5 Days Challenge

Hello! I recently saw a challenge going around on Instagram, and I thought I might join in! You have to read any five books (less than 300 pages) in the space of five days! It is really fun, and I think I might start doing more things like this. I will be reading Mary Poppins by P. L. Travers, Cinderella by C. S. Evans, Getting Near To Baby by Audrey Couloumbis, Bud Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis, and Number The Stars by Lois Lowry. Happy reading!

The Mouse with the Question Mark Tail

Author: Richard Peck
Number of pages: 229
Year published: 2013


Behold! Richard Peck, winner of many book awards, writes a fun, adventurous, funny, and lovable book. We join "Mouse Minor," a undersized mouse with a questioning nature, on a quest to meet the Queen and discover his real name and origin. The story is set in England, around Buckingham Palace, at the reign of Queen Victoria, in the year of her Diamond Jubilee. This book has a great plot and an interesting group of characters. Just the idea of a hidden animal world beneath our own sets the stage for a good read!

"For every job a human holds, there is a mouse with the same job, and doing it better."

The mouse with the Question Mark tail was a really fun book. It is funny and bright, and best of all, it's about mice! I loved this story as it was just an enjoyable read. I absolutely love Richard Peck, he has written some of the most amazing books. I've also read "Secrets at Sea," which is another great story about mice by the same author. I loved it!

I would recommend this book to around age 7 and up. It is a very easy book, and there is nothing dark about it whatsoever. Even though it is directed towards younger children, anyone can read it, and I can guarantee that you will love it!
