1: Another Great Childrens Book From Barbara Reid!
The Subway Mouse is one of Barbara's newer books. Beautifully illustrated in clay, this book is sure to capture the attention of children while still being interesting for the parent as well. The story has small words so it would make a good reader for children. Barbara has several other childrens books out all of which are illustrated with clay. Can't wait to see what else she comes out with!

2: CCSU Students
The illustrations in this story are unique in form and inivite the reader to turn the book's pages. The richly textured illustrations make the author's words come alive in three dimensional effect. Children will enjoy the storytelling from the mouse's point of view of life on the subway track. The plot takes the protagonist on an adventure from the security of his mouse burrow to the uncertainity of "Tunnel's End". Each character he meets along the way is portrayed realistically through vivid dialogue exchanges and accompanying images. However, the overuse of simple and choppy dialogue clouds the plot line. As you read, the question "Will he make it to "Tunnel's End?" lingers in your mind and sustains interest.

3: My Son's Favorite
As a New Yorker, this book hits close to home. It is beautifully illustrated and the story is both courageous and sweet.

4: Wonderful Story and Illustrations!!!
My mom bought me Barbara Reid books as a child, which I still have and will always cherish. All of Barbara's books are so vividly illustrated and well written. The Subway Mouse kept up her trend of wonderful children's books. It's great to see Barbara writing and illustrating more books. Keep it up Barbara! We love your work! =0)
