Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse -- Leo Lionni

Everyone loves Willy the wind-up mouse, while Alexander the real mouse is chased away with brooms and mousetraps. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be loved and cuddled, thinks Alexander, and he wishes he could be a wind-up mouse too. In this gentle fable about a real mouse and a mechanical mouse, Leo Lionni explores the magic of friendship. <p/>Originally published in 1969, the Caldecott Honor-winning <i>Alexander and the Wind-up Mouse</i> is sure to enchant a whole new generation of readers.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Leo Lionni<br><b>Publisher:</b> Dragonfly Books<br><b>Published:</b> 01/17/2017<br><b>Pages:</b> 32<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.35lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 10.50h x 8.50w x 0.20d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780399555510<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 3<br><b>Point Value:</b> 0.5<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Lower Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>17503 / Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>LEO LIONNI wrote and illustrated more than 40 picture books, including four Caldecott Honor Books--<i>Inch by Inch</i>, <i>Swimmy</i>, <i>Frederick</i>, and <i>Alexander the Wind-Up Mouse</i>.
