There’S a Mouse in My Mashed Potatoes

By Joshua Allen and Mary Ellen Schulz

When Ryan finds a small mouse in his mashed potatoes, he secretly decides to keep it for a pet, having to hide it until dismissal. In his desk the mouse squeaks, then escapes. With humor, chaos erupts in the classroom, ruffling cockatiel feathers, and causing Miss Blake to break her own room rule. Can Ryan rescue the mouse? With rich vocabulary, rhythmic language and delightful illustration, the story unfolds with surprise ending. Questions built into the script on the last pages encourage imagination and lively discussion. An Extended Activities page is included for teachers and parents with suggestions for use at home or in the classroom.

Joshua Allen

He is a loving father of three children, two step children and with a wonderful wife. He has always enjoyed story telling with a special message of "good" as his children grew up. The most satisfying feeling is when the children would ask for the story be told again and again. He knew that an educational message on the true value of diversity could be told in an entertaining way for children to understand, learn and appreciate.
