About book Le Secret (2008)

Illustrations are small. Kinda cute. Very simple. But too small to work in a storytime. The words are repetitive, defintiely driving home the point that mouse is not going to share his secret. A good ending, but a little trite. And are children necessarily going to discern WHICH secret are best NOT kept? 'Cause I sure don't want them thinking that it will be better or more fun to share any and every secret they know. I'm not highly impressed with the book, though I'm sure it has its place somewhere. Shhhh, don't tell anyone, Little Mouse has a big secret! This book is a great read for kindergarten and pre-k. They will be thrilled to be part of the secret that Mouse keeps but his secret grows bigger and bigger as his friends ask what is he hiding. Use this book as tool to show students that it is better to share rather than keep secrets. The text is simple and repetitive. Give children the opportunity to predict what will mouse do and what do ho\w do they think his friends will react.
