Of mice and morals
https://www.tes.com/magazine/archive/mice-and-morals
Mouse TV by Matt Novak, republished by O’Brien Press (pound;4.99) is a clever, moral tale, for a wider age range, about the downside of watching television. A group of mice argue about what they want to watch, especially during the adverts. The humour is slightly surreal and there is inventive detail in the illustrations, presented in TV-shaped boxes.
More morals in Whatever Wanda Wanted by Jude Wisdom (Gullane Children’s Books pound;9.99), about a spoilt girl called Wanda who is marooned on a desert island. Children will love the colours and shapes of Wisdom’s graphic pictures - a series of richly coloured collages - and enjoy Wanda’s transformation. Plenty of scope for discussion and artwork in the classroom.
