This is a review for the children’s book Charlie & Mouse Lost and Found: Book 5 published by Laurel Snyder Illustrated by Emily Hughes which I was sent a copy of in exchange for this reviews.
Charlie like all kids enjoys finding things named after him and that is what Charlie & Mouse Lost and Found: Book 5 the newest children’s book we read this week did.
When I opened Charlie & Mouse Lost and Found: Book 5 I was surprised to find the story broken down into Chapters . Which was good because we could read a chapter and set the book aside. Then Charlie wouldn’t get bored or frustrated with reading.
As I read through Charlie & Mouse Lost and Found: Book 5 I found myself getting caught up into the story. I was sad when I finished the story but not for long as I needed to share the book with Charlie.
Charlie loved the drawings and getting to know the characters and seeing all the places they went that lead them to two dogs. Leading Charlie and I to a new Lesson Plan in our Homeschool Class Dogs.
If you haven’t heard of Charlie & Mouse Lost and Found: Book 5 I hope you take the time to check out not only this book but the other books in the series which are perfect additions to your children’s reading.

About Laurel Snyder
I’ve been writing pretty devotedly, in one form or fashion, since I was about seven. In the fourth grade, I announced to the world that I planned to become “rich and famous writing books and plays for children!”
Then I intended to adopt every stray dog and cat in the city of Baltimore and move them all into an old mansion, not far from where I lived.
Well, I’m not rich by any means, I live in a rather small brick house, and I only have one cat, but I am (blessedly) writing books for kids, and I couldn’t be more amazed or delighted.
Most days I spend with my sons (who are tiny) smeared with Peanut Butter, finger paint, and silly joy. But late at night, I write these books… and I hope you’ll read one…
And if you like that book, (or even if you don’t) I hope you’ll write to me, and say hello!
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
