This is a review for the children’s books Two Mice in New York, Two Mice In London and Two Mice at the Eiffel Tower which I was sent copies of in exchange for a review.
There are three books in the series. They do not have to be read in any certain order. I shared the novels with Charlie and he asked if we could read Two Mice in New York A Holiday Adventure first because he wanted to see where his sister Suzzane visited at Christmas.
Charlie and I learned we can put together a Quiz using tips about New York we found in Two Mice In New York A Holiday Adventure to enhance our Homeschooling lessons. As well as putting together a Spelling list for our Spelling test.
We can sit down and create our own Star for our Christmas tree which we will be putting up this year. As well as creating the attractions we saw in Two Mice In New York A Holiday Adventure.
About Two Mice in New York: A Holiday Adventure
The star to the New York Rockefeller Christmas Tree is missing. Visitors come from all over the world to see the tree, and without the star, it will not be the same. Join two French mice, Azura and Afrodille, as they map out a plan in New York City to search for the missing star.
Along with Madame Bella, the two mice make stops at Times Square, The Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and the Empire State Building in search of clues to find the missing star.
The traveling companions even enlist the help of Frankie, a cool subway rat, and his rat pack, to help in the search. Enjoy a holiday adventure in “The Big Apple” that celebrates Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year’s Eve.
The second book in this series Charlie and I read was Two Mice In London. I’ve always wanted to visit. London and Buckingham Palace. How about you?
Through Two Mice In London we were able to ride on a Double Decker Bus. I just wish we could do this in real life. Wouldn’t you? One of the features I liked the most in the books is they include a map showing how far away places are form each other.
About:
Hop on a double-decker bus with two mice, Azura and Afrodille, as they see the grand sights of London, England.
Enjoy an adventure that takes the two mice from Paris to London to visit the famous sights of Big Ben, The London Eye, and Buckingham Palace. The two mice are reunited with Madame Bella and have a secret plan to meet the Queen. How will the mice get beyond the guards who protect the Queen’s palace to finally meet her?
Readers will not want to miss this London adventure filled with problem-solving and creativity
The third book in this series is Two Mice At The Eiffel Tower. Charlie let me know he didn’t want to visit the Eiffel Tower because he doesn’t like Heights.
If we just went to London and looked around and visited the Eiffel Tower.I know Charlie would enjoy seeing this in person. Wouldn’t you enjoy it as well?
Charlie and I loved the Mouses adventures in London and the Eiffel Tower. Charlie said he wouldn’t mind having the Mouse as pets and taking them to visit new States .
Once we finished reading all three novels Charlie let me know he wanted to learn more about each State and the attractions and traditions they have in each State.
Leading us to a new Homeschooling Lesson Plan will be studying all 50 States. Charlie will ask his friends and family to send us items from each State we study. I hope we get something from London.

Including:
Critical Thinking and Communication
1. Group students into three teams.
2. Identify the three problems that Azura and Afrodille encountered when trying to meet the queen. Make a photocopy of each of the problems from pages in the book and put each problem in the center of a piece of bulletin board paper.
3. Have students move to one of the three problems and discuss how the two mice could have successfully navigated that problem to turn it in to a successful solution that would allowed the two mice to meet the Queen. Have students write down their alternative solutions to the problem on the bulletin board paper.
4. Have students review problem and then present their alternative solutions to the class.
Thank you,
