Mouse TV Matt Novak

Brief Description: Each member of the Mouse family wants to watch something different on television, and they discover a solution to their problem one night when the television doesn't work. Brief Description: "The mouse family can't agree on what to watch on TV. . . . One night, the TV doesn't work, and the rodents find ways to get the same kinds of entertainment without it. . . . The cartoon illustrations are delightful, and children will love identifying the mouse-related humor in many of them. . . . Novak gently, and quite successfully, shows that there are countless ways to enjoy oneself as an active participant rather than as a passive viewer".--"School Library Journal", starred review. "American Booksellers" Pick of the Lists, Parents' Choice Award, "School Library Journal" Best Book of the Year. Publisher Marketing: In this updated version of the popular turn off TV book, the mouse family is up at night, glued to the TV. But there is many a squeaky squabble because all ten mice favor different channels. History, mystery, how-to, where-to, comedy, drama, sports ... This viewer-friendly romp shows how, one night, they all get happy with new favorites they'd hardly imagined. Review Citations:
