Mixed reactions from the kids. They started doing puzzles and playing with other toys. The emotional content may be too intense for a group viewing situation. Muted colors and gentle music is so low key that they tend to drift. Older kids responded best.
Deals with every day conflicts such as being made fun of at school, outgrowing a beloved toy, and dealing with a difficult playmate. Helps kids figure out how to resolve these conflicts in a non-violent way but also deals with frustration and sadness.
Two other Kevin Henkes favorite mouse stories are featured along with Chrysanthemum, narrated by Meryl Streep. "Owen" is narrated by Sarah Jessica Parker and "A Weekend with Wendell" is narrated by Mary Beth Hurt.
