Review
In this second book of the Commander in Cheese series Ava and Dean take on a new furry resident of the White House. Their continued travels through the WH mice tunnels brings them to the Oval Office where they manage to alter a presidential decision about the C.A.T.
Though a silly tale there is lots here for the early reader to enjoy and the ending is a surprise. The storyline is historical and educational without any stiffness. Vocabulary is perfect for the step 2-3 reader and the illustrations enhance the text. Pictures of all the USA Presidents and related facts complete the book. This is a good new series for the K- third grade classroom. Public libraries who collect paperback easy readers will want to add this book to the first Commander in Cheese title; the Big Move.
