Minch Moogan is a delightful book written in a fun, rhyming, engaging pattern. The plot of the story keeps the reader involved, trying to solve the mystery of the missing items. Valuable lessons of recycling, community involvement, and helping your neighbor are embedded in the story. Something old and worn does not always equal useless! This book will be a perfect complement to any classroom or home library since it will foster much-needed conversation--so lacking in a world of technology. The illustrations are playful, colorful, and enhance the story so the reader can truly visualize the characters and their setting. The littlest details of strategically placing a spider web or following the gaze of a character's eyes are expertly placed on each page. Enjoy! --Mary Ellen Kriener, elementary school teacher Minch Moogan strides through this delight of a book. He reminds us not to judge people too quickly. This story is captivating and lighthearted while being rich with conversation which generates meaning. I highly recommend this book for read aloud to children of all ages and independent reading for students in first through third grades. --Theresa Grady, elementary school principal
