The Mouse with the Question Mark Tail by Richard Peck - - Advisable


Peck, Richard The Mouse with the Question Mark Tail, 223 pgs.  Dial Books for Young Readers 2013.  $16.99. Language: G (0 swears) Violence: G; Mature Content: G.  

A little mouse who has been raised by his Aunt Marigold and attends the Royal Mews Academy, runs away from school on the eve of Queen Victoria’s Jubilee Celebration, to seek an audience with the queen and to find out why he doesn’t have a name. “Nameless is Blameless” his Aunt always tells him, but maybe there’s more to this mouse than he thinks.  

Peck continues to delight children’s fiction readers, this time with an adorable mouse.  Not as laugh aloud funny as A Year Down Yonder, but still, a well written story.
