Horace and Morris but Mostly Dolores

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Amy Walrod. Three adventure-loving mice are best friends until gender stereotypes separate them, driving Horace and Morris into a rowdy boys-only clubhouse while Dolores reluctantly goes off to join the ultra-ladylike Cheese Puffs. The bold artwork suits the book's lively protest against conformity, instigated by Dolores when she convinces old friends and new ones to quit the clubs and go exploring.
Reviewer: Christine M. Heppermann
