Illustrated by
Emily Hughes.
This beginning chapter book is full of sincere, slice-of-life sibling moments. In four chapters, brothers Charlie and Mouse spend a day together in their home and neighborhood. Oodles of white space and large font combined with textual repetition support new readers and create momentum. Hughes's graphite and Photoshop illustrations in muted tones radiate humor and heart.
