I’m so thrilled that my kids love reading just as much as I do. I’ve read to all of my children since they were babies, and they’ve continued to be avid readers by themselves once they learned how to read on their own.
We just received the next book in Mo Willems’ Unlimited Squirrels series: Who is the Mystery Reader? and my 6-year-old loves it!
From Mo Willems, creator of the revolutionary, award-winning, best-selling Elephant & Piggie books, comes this breakout beginning-reader series. An ensemble cast of Squirrels, Acorns, and pop-in guests host a page-turning extravaganza. Each book features a funny, furry adventure AND bonus jokes, quirky quizzes, nutty facts, and so, so many Squirrels.
In Who is the Mystery Reader?, Zoom Squirrel tries out a new superpower with help from a mysterious Mystery Reader. But will the Squirrel pals ever find out who the real Mystery Reader is? Do you know more about reading than the Squirrels do? You will by the end of this book!
One thing that is unique about this beginning-reader series is that it combines the hilarious narrative stories that we’re used to from Mo Willems with surprising nonfiction content, meaning my 8- and 10-year-old like to snag this book from my 6-year-old, too!
Unlimited Squirrels is also a great series for parents and caregivers to look over with the kids as the books address a range of physical, emotional, and social development markers. Your kids will be engaged in the reading experience and you’ll find some ideas for starting your own conversations with them.
