Starred Review

PreS-Gr 2--Fed up with mopping slop and glop and never getting to stop, a disgruntled mop abandons its responsibilities and runs away. It is pursued by an assortment of animals, including a hopping rabbit and clopping horse, but the mop outruns and outwits them all. The highly decodable text is mostly limited to a few speech bubbles on each page, with particular emphasis on monosyllabic words ending in that "op" sound. Digitally rendered in comic-style panels, the characters display a wide range of emotion. The mop, which strongly resembles the title character from Fenske's Barnacle Is Bored, is particularly expressive. Like his other early readers, this one is bound to delight fans of Mo Willems and Dr. Seuss. VERDICT Sure to elicit giggles from emerging readers.--Amy Reimann
