"This book was originally written & ILLUSTRATED by my grandmother, but the original color plates wore out. While Cindy's illustrations are nice, the original pictures are really something. My grandmother always used live models for her creatures, so mice looked like mice, frogs like frogs, etc. Paws were not swapped out for four fingered hands. One of my favorites of her books."
"This was my sister's favorite book when she was young - rereading it, I discovered why! A mouse is so lazy that his family forgets all about him and moves. He runs into the forest to find them, and gets lost. He soon befriends three frogs, who choose the names Lulu, Leander, and Percy. In trying to maintain the friendship, he has to give up his lazy habits. A fun story for K-3 children, with charming illustrations."
"Walter is a lazy mouse. He is so lazy that he never gets up for school. He doesn't get up until everyone else has left. Finally his family forgets about him and move out, leaving him behind. Walter sets off to find them. He winds up on his own island and makes friends with some frogs. He tries to teach them math and reading, but since he never got up in time for school, he gets most of it wrong. He decides to go back to school and finds his family again. Walter finally learns to be independent and responsible. I liked this book as a child and it is one of the first ones my oldest daughter read on her own. A lot of fun."
