5 out of 5 stars Great book for High School Intro to Communications

Format: Paperback

This book is wonderfully written and begins with the example of the greatest orator of all time, Jesus Christ. In the first chapter, Ms. Vassallo examines the communication style of Jesus and how he influenced his audience to action. She then breaks down the different elements of communication skills in detail in the following chapters. I am using this book in a Communications class for Christian young people, in order to teach them how to use good communications skills to influence their world.

Book Description

Mouse has something very important to tell her friend Bear. But first she has to find him. Readers will love helping Mouse search for her best friend by lifting the flaps.

Editorial Reviews

   From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1-Fans of Foley's "Mouse and Bear" books (Viking) will not be disappointed in this latest offering. When Mouse receives a note from Bear saying, "I miss you," she sets off to find him and tell him something important. She looks for him in a tree, behind rocks, in the tall grass, etc., and, in each place, an animal is hiding behind a flap, but there is no sign of Bear. Disappointed, she returns home to find him waiting for her. The simple illustrations are as endearing as Mouse and Bear themselves. While the text is similar to Eric Hill's Where's Spot? (Putnam, 1988), the sweetness of the characters, their obvious fondness for one another, and the message of friendship freshen the story.-C. J.
