Review Detail

Marty Moose: First Class Mischief is a humor-filled chapter book about a mouse who, due to an ink mishap on his birth certificate, is known as Marty Moose. Marty wants to follow in his great-aunt’s footsteps and work at the post office, delivering mail. On his first day, he runs into several mishaps that make for an entertaining adventure.

What I Liked: The characters are hysterical, each one more outrageous than the last. From Nibbles , a super-energetic rabbit, to Velma and Vern, the feuding toad siblings, every character is memorable and adds so much to the story.

Claire Powell serves as both author and illustrator, using detailed artwork to bring Marty’s world to life. The map of Little Ditch is my favorite, as it allows readers to track how the locations in the story connect. With short chapters and engaging visuals on every page, this is an ideal transitional book for young readers.

Marty Moose: First Class Mischief is a must-read for any young reader who loves a hilarious, high-energy adventure
