So realistic!
This book hits home as a Kindergarten teacher. The words are so true to life and it can really relate to a child who may be going through the same things that Rutie is going through. I love this book!

Kevin Henkes is fantastic.
I love all the mouse books that Kevin Henkes has written. The artwork is great and they have nice life lessons in them. Chester's Way, among others, is one of their favorite Kevin Henkes titles. It includes a nice lesson about trying new things and making new friends.
