184. Motor Mouse and Valentino


Motor Mouse and Valentino. Cynthia Rylant. Illustrated by Arthur Howard. 2021. [November] 64 pages. [Source: Library]

First sentence: Motor Mouse was a very good driver and this was a good thing since he took deliveries all over town.

Motor Mouse and Valentino is the third in the new early reader series by Cynthia Rylant. (I reviewed a few weeks ago). There are three stories in this early reader: "The Flight of Uncertainty," "A Scooter of One's Own" and "Assorted Amusements and Prizes." 

In all three stories Motor Mouse is spending time with his brother, Valentino. In the first story, they go up in a hot air balloon. In the second story, Motor Mouse tries to convince his brother to get a car all the while Valentino is trying to interest Motor Mouse in a scooter! In the third story, the two go to a fair together. 

I liked this one. I did. But I didn't like it as much as the first book. Still am enjoying the characters though.
