But they warned young mouse not to go, but he left the next morning when the sun came came up. Young mouse starts his journey. On his journey the first one he runs into is magic frog. Magic frog now named him jumping mouse. The second one jumping mouse ran into was fat mouse. Fat mouse allowed him to sleep in his home and also told him that there was a snake on the other side. But he was to late. Fat mouse was eaten by the snake for breakfast. The third one he met was a bison that could not see because he drank from a poisoned stream.

In return for his favor the wolf guides Jumping Mouse through the mountains. Using kindness and inselfishness Jumpign Mouse became an Eagle in teh end, in return for helping those animals. We have to give in order to recieve. Nicole, that was one of the most insightful responses about being selfless! Jumping Mouse was very unselfish and kind. Mouse always dreamt ofgoing to the far-off land because it seemed like a beautiful place. The next morning, the mouse got up early to find the far-off land. Mouse said because he has short legs so, Magic Frog will name the mouse Jumping Mouse and the mouse started to grow long legs like a jackrabbit. Now this is where the journey begins. While on the way to find the far-off land, Jumping Mouse met a fat mouse. Jumping Mouse felt exhausted becayse he went searching for the far-off land day and night non-stop. The next day, Jumping Mouse got up and left the place. On the way to the far-off land, Jumping Mouse meets some animals. One of them was a bison. Jumping Mouse wanted to give his sight to the bison and named the bison Eyes-of-a-Mouse. Jumping Mouse got saddend by his story so gave the his sense of smell and named the fox Nose-of-a-Mouse. The problem is solved because the frog made Jumping Mouse into a eagle and Jumping Mouse made it to the far-off land. There are some changes in the beginning of the story and end because at first Jumping Mouse wanted to go to the far-off land and at last he did. Magic frog names mouse Jumping Mouse because Jumping Mouse needed help crossing the river so Magic frog gave him hip strong legs to cross the river. There is a young mouse the elders told stories to. The young mouse wanted to go to the Far are lands. He met a frog. The frog was magic and the magic frog gave the mouse a name Jumping Mouse and when he got that name he got legs that help him jump twice as high. First, Jumping Mouse met a bison. Jumping mouse found out that the bison was dyeing because he cant see so he cant see eat the tender grass. Jumping Mouse decided to give the bison his eyesight. The bison then lead Jumping mouse to the mountains. Then, Jumping Mouse met a wolf. Jumping Mouse gave the wolf his sense of smell. In return the wolf took the mouse to the far of lands. Magic frog gave Jumping mouse a new name Eagle and he turned into a Eagle. He also met a bison and a wolf that helped him because he helped them. Once there was a young mouse that lives in a brush near a river. On his way, he meets a frog who gives him new hind legs and name. Then, he meets a bison and a wolf who help him, because he helped them. Then he helped him cross the river. Jumping Mouse ate when he was hungry, and slept when he was exhausted. He stayed with the old mouse until he was rested. The old mouse warned him about a snake that lived on the other side of the stream, and was afraid of water. When Jumping Mouse had to leave, he saw a branch that had fallen into the stream that would make a bridge for the snake to cross. Jumping Mouse hopped toward a boulder but realized it was a bison.

He was just like any other little mouse. He was always gathering up seeds to eat and twigs and cotton to build a nest with. But every once in a while this little mouse would pause, stand still and listen intensely. He would listen silently for a while, then go back to his work. Now this little mouse started to wonder about this sound he was listening to. He asked another mouse. The other mouse just looked at him as if he were crazy, then dashed off into the log of a rotting cottonwood tree. He tried asking other mice the same thing, but they were too busy working to even answer his question. But the mouse keep hearing it, and one day decided that he would investigate this sound that he heard. He followed the sound very carefully. He was a little scared, but also very curious. What are you doing way out here? Finally, they came upon a river, mighty wide and huge, roaring across the land. It seemed that parts of the world were floating down it. I must go now, but I leave you in good hands with brother Frog here. So little mouse crouched down as low as he could and jumped as high as he could. He was in mid air and he saw something amazing. He saw the sacred mountains, blue and beautiful. He hung midair in awe and amazement as he gazed in wonder at their majestic beauty that touched his heart. Then, he dropped back down and splash, fell into the river. Finally he succeeded with great effort pulled himself from the waters. Little mouse thought for a moment, then his angry eyes turned blissful, as he recalled the beauty of the mountains and how he felt inside his heart. Oh, this is wonderful! But when Jumping Mouse returned home, nobody would listen to his story. Worse, since he was wet, they thought that an animal had snatched him up in its mouth, but spit him out because he was poison. So everybody shunned Jumping Mouse. He was very sad. Day after day, Jumping Mouse went about his business again of collecting seeds and materials for his nest. But he could not get the image and feeling out of his mind and heart about the Sacred Mountains. How he longed for them! Finally, he could stand it no longer. He was determined to see the Sacred Mountains once more. He was frightened as he looked out on the open prairie and up into the wide sky above, filled with eagles ready to snatch him up. But the vision pulled at him with great desire, and he mustered up all his courage and then dashed out on to the prairie. His little legs carried him as fast as he could, as his eyes, glazed over with fear, looked into the sky. Finally, he spotted a bush and dashed into it. His heart was beating furiously as he caught his breath. Then he looked around and saw some amazing things. Why, there were many, many seeds to collect and so much more nesting material than back home! How easy life was here! Then, he saw an old mouse. You must have seen the sacred mountains! I am old and therefore wise. I have come a long way in my life. But those sacred mountains. The Story of Jumping Mouse: A Native American - The Child's World

Is he then going to eat other mice? Isn't that what eagles do? Let's just say this one didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

This Caldecott Honor book is a legend of a young mouse who sets off to find the far-off land. He meets Magic Frog who gives him the name of Jumping Mouse and now the little mouse is able to jump higher and farther before. As he continues on his journey, he encounters difficulty and also meets others who are in need of help. Each time, he unselfishly sacrifices and helps others and in turn receives help. Finally, his dreams come true The illu This Caldecott Honor book is a legend of a young mouse who sets off to find the far-off land. The illustrations are black and white and have great detail. This could be used to talk about humility. It could also be used to talk about dreams and goals and not giving up on these dreams and goals. But perhaps, it would be best used to discuss compassion. My one complaint: I wish it contained an author's note that told more about the origin of the story. It says it is based on a Native American legend and in the author's bio, Steptoe says he heard the story several years earlier and wrote it down from memory. He writes that he included many things that are his own. I wish he provided more information about where he heard the story, etc. May 28, Alicia rated it really liked it Shelves: picture-book , native-american , retold , animal-characters-picture-book. I love this book. It is such an interesting tale. The ending is so facinating. The artwork is beautiful detailed pencil. Apr 30, Mili Fay rated it it was amazing Shelves: picture-books. This is the kind of storytelling I like. On the surface it is a wonderful adventure story about a brave, hopeful, and generous mouse who journeys to the far- off land. If read between the lines, it is a metaphor for life and the importance of not giving up on your dreams, no matter what the challenges are and no matter if others think you foolish. It also shows the importance of being a good person and helping others even if it costs you, because we all need a little help sometimes. The black and white pencil illustrations are lovely, though sometimes I had to pull back to see what was going on. Personally, I would have liked to see this story in watercolor, or even in the Native American style. However, my preferences do not take away from the beauty of this book.

This is kind of a weird tale of a mouse who goes on a journey to reach the magical far-off lands. Along the way, he meets with several struggles and helps other creatures; earning a great reward at the end of the tale.

As I progressed through the story I often found myself confused about parts that were told that completely popped out of nowhere and sometimes didn't even make any sense. I wondered why these elements were in the story and why someone hadn't properly explained them to me. The ending was very random and I basically sat there and said, "What?!

This is a lovely folktale about a mouse who helps other creatures, and is rewarded in turn although he didn't assist with the intention of receiving a reward. The black and white pencil illustrations are well executed, especially the animals. There is one sentence about the source of this story on the verso of the title page, and the CIP indicates that it is a Indian legend. The journey of a little mouse that displays unconditional love. A great tale to include in your storytelling collection. Nov 04, Rebecca Thomas rated it liked it. Genre- Traditional Picture Book 2. Summary- After hearing tales of the Far Off Land, a young mouse journeys to find it. Along the way he meets a magical frog who bestows upon him a name Jumping Mouse and magical powers. Through trials and difficulties Jumping Mouse meets a variety of other animals all in need of his help. With great selflessness, Jumping Mouse helps the other animals and is rewarded for his good deeds by becoming an eagle who will dwell in the Far Off Land forever. Area of focus- Illustrations and Theme 3. The illustrations in this text are both bold and bland in black and white. While this detracts from the book as a whole, it does place greater emphasis on the theme--helping others and keeping hope alive at all costs. The entire book is drawn in stark black and white pictures. While this style is definitely bold, it lacks in terms of reader engagement. Some of the illustrations are difficult to decipher due to their colors and perspective. Towards the end of the book is a picture of Magic Frog and Jumping Mouse huddled together. I had to stretch the book out away from my face in order to see what was going on in the picture. The other side of using such uninspiring artwork is that it does place greater emphasis on the text in the story. Readers will appreciate the tale and theme--sacrificing to help others and always keeping hope alive. Curriculum Connections- As a Caldecott Honor, this book is definitely on the dated side of the spectrum. However, the one good thing about legends is that they tend to age well. While The Story of Jumping Mouse may have some issues for keeping the focus of contemporary readers with stark and busy illustrations, the themes make up for it. This book could be used to demonstrate the powers of helping others or the benefits of tenacity. Jul 10, J rated it it was amazing Shelves: native-american , z-format-digital. A very beautiful Native American legend that explores the need to explore far off places to soothe one's soul, the compassionate helping of others even if it means self-sacrifice and hardships as well as the help that is returned to one who has given sincerely. Although some of these lessons don't seem compatible in these times they are still wonderful to know within the heart.

They capture the animals and the scenery in their detailed drawings while allowing the reader to know exactly where Jumping Mouse has made it. There is power within the illustrations as you continue further into the journey that is being made. The writing is simple and easy-to-follow. I did have problems, though, with the font as in places it seemed that it was faded so it was hard to read. I am not quite sure if this was just a typo of the e-book formatting or if this is the way the actual book is printed so I would love to get my hands on a physical copy for a comparison. Again for those who like legends or needs a nice warm story I would definitely recommend this book. For children it should be up to their parents' consent for although it isn't graphically gory or violent there could be some problems depending on how a child may interpret the story. All in all a wonderful and quick read! Oct 18, Alexis Caudill rated it it was amazing Shelves: book-summaries. It is about a mouse with a dream to see the far-off land.

I chose this book at random from the library shelf, and was disappointed to see I'd picked "a long one" the night I picked it up to read as a bedtime story. The thing about Jumping Mouse, though, is that it's so engrossing and its lessons are so valuable, I'd have read myself hoarse to get to the end. At which point, I'm sure a lovely pencil-illustrated forest creature would have given me some sort of enchanted gift in exchange for my sacrifice. Regardless, this story is a gift. I didn't realize I chose this book at random from the library shelf, and was disappointed to see I'd picked "a long one" the night I picked it up to read as a bedtime story. I didn't realize it was a Native American folktale when I picked it up, but this is truly a story that knows no cultural boundaries. If you read this book--I don't care what age you are--and it doesn't open your eyes to your own potential and the gifts of all those around you, then YOU FAIL, my friend. It's on YOU.

This story appeals to Logan's love of animals and the text has a rhythm that's kind of mesmerizing. They are detailed, lifelike, and emotionally-charged. The first 5 or 6 times I read this aloud, I choked up at the end and Logan would ask me what was wrong. I found it hard to describe how beauty and transformation can make a person tearful, but I tried. Logan asks for this book frequently.

He first encounters Magic Frog who helps him cross a river by naming him Jumping Mouse and giving him the ability to jump. Along the way mouse meets different creatures and helps them the way Magic Frog helped him. Although as Jumping Mouse helps them, he loses the ability he has given them. For example, he gave a bison the gift of sight and then Jumping Mouse loses his sight. Happily, Jumping ' kind spirit is rewarded at the end. The black and white Mouse wants to travel to far away lands. The black and white illustrations use shading very effectively. The illustrations are a bit abstract, but the character images are large enough to pop out on the pages.

It seems like I found a bunch of Caldecott Honor books that all retell legends and folktales with more than the typical amount of words for a picture book. This is yet another one. Though in this one the Jumping Mouse is a clear hero with wants and goals and a big heart. The text is very readable, the art beautiful but not overdone. And there's a nice twist at the end, though it's kind of a big leap. May 24, Meg McGregor rated it it was amazing Shelves: read-to-lexi. One, of the most beautifully illustrated stories, I have ever red; a tale worthy of five stars. The mouse went to find the far-off land in the morning. He felt exhausted from his journey. Jumping Mouse met a fat mouse that lived under a berry bush. Jumping Mouse was rested and strond enough to begin his journey again. All they did was sleep and eat. He saw his reflection and he was Fat. The mouse warned Jumping Mouse to stay on one of the stream because of the snake. He saw a branch stuck in the stream and ran fast to warn his friend but it was too late. Jumping Mouse met a bison and he was dying. Jumping Mouse named him Eyes-of-a-Mouse. Soon the bison could see again. He had given the bison is own sight. The bison thanked him and brought him to the mountains. He dug a hole to rest in. The cool breezes woke him up, and soon he felt fur under his paws. Jumping Mouse was scared because he smelled wolf. The wolf thought he was dying because he could no longer smell. He had also given up his smell, so the wolf could survive. Since, Jumping Mouse gave the wolf his smell, the wolf took him to the far-off land. Jumping Mouse soon dug a hole and went to sleep fast. Then Magic Frog appeared. He could see and smell again. Magic Frog told the eagle that he will live in the far-off land forever. Jumping Mouse is a mouse that is given a power to have powerful legs. Jumping Mouse heard stories of the Far-off land and wants to go there. Mouse heard stories of the Far-off land,which made Jumping Mouse dream about the Far-off land and he wants to go there. Later on Jumping Mouse met a frog that gave him powerful legs, the name Jumping Mouse and helped him through the river. He met a fat mouse that let him rest and eat. A snake had lived on the other side of the river, but a branch broke off, a cause of the snake coming over and eating the fat mouse. Jumping Mouse is sad that the Fat Mouse got eaten. The effect of the bison being happy that he got his eye sight back is the bison guiding the mouse through the plains and to the mountains. At the mountains, Jumping Mouse met a wolf, that had lost his smell and would surely die. Jumping Mouse was very kind to give his sense of smell to the wolf. The wolf was very glad of what Jumping Mouse did and lead him through the mountains. Jumping Mouse dug a hole to sleep. When he woke up, he had gotten to his destination. Magic Frog came and told Jumping Mouse to jump. He did as he was told and he turned into an eagle. I learned that being generous and unslefish can help you achieve your dreams or goals. Young mouse dreams of the far off land. Jumping mouse wants to go to the far off land because it sounded beautiful in his dreams. Near the fire old ones told stories of the far off land. Then Jumping Mouse would dream of the far off land. The next day he set off on his journey too the far off land. Near a pond he found a magical frog, the frog named him Jumping Mouse. Suddenly he felt a sensation in his legs. They had turned into legs. After bouncing he stopped under a berry bush because Jumping Mouse was tired. He meet a fat mouse. When the mouse woke up he crossed the river when he looked back a branch fell on the river like a bridge. Now the snake could pass,Jumping mouse went back to warn his friend. He was too late.

He and his friends loved to spend the evenings listening to the old ones tell stories. His favorite story by far was the story of the Far Off Lands. So much did he love this tale, he would dream of the Far Off Lands every night. One day, the little mouse said to himself, "I simply must see these Far Off Lands! He would travel almost the entire day, stopping only for rest or food or drink. He came to a riverbank, and his heart fell. From behind him, he heard a gravely voice. The frog jumped into the water, and began to kick her legs. I simply must see it! Bend down low, and jump as far as you can. The mouse jumped, and he felt a strange feeling in his legs. They seemed much stronger than before, and he noticed that he had jumped farther than he had ever been able to before. Magic Frog said, "You will experience many hardships on your journey, but if you keep hope alive within you, you will reach the Far Off Lands. And I give you a new name. You are now called Jumping Mouse. She waved, and hopped back off into the -tails. Jumping Mouse leaped across the river, and turned to wave, but Magic Frog was gone. In the back of his mind, he could still hear Magic Frog's words: "Keep hope alive within you The next day, Jumping Mouse reached the prairie. He was walking along when he saw a huge boulder ahead. As he got closer, he saw that it was not a boulder, but a large buffalo lying on the ground. I am lying here waiting for the end. Jumping Mouse said, " I am Jumping Mouse. Along the way, Jumping Mouse comes across others animals in need, and with magic from Magic Frog he self-sacrificially gives away of his magic and senses to help them. In the end, Jumping Mouse reaches his destination but cannot see or smell it due to his acts of kindness until Magic Fro A little mouse sets off in search of the great land far beyond he has heard and dreamed of. In the end, Jumping Mouse reaches his destination but cannot see or smell it due to his acts of kindness until Magic Frog rewards his unselfishness. I absolutely love Steptoe's illustrations, even though they are black and white, they are still incredible. The story itself is also wonderful. Jumping Mouse is so sweet and kind, he's a great little hero and role model. Those studying Native Americans can use this tale from their folklore, as could those studying the ecosystems of the American West. View all 3 comments. May 30, Friend of Pixie F. This story appeals to Logan's love of animals and the text has a rhythm that's kind of mesmerizing. They are detailed, lifelike, and emotionally- charged. The first 5 or 6 times I read this aloud, I choked up at the end and Logan would ask me what was wrong. I found it hard to describe how beauty and transformation can make a person tearful, but I tried. Logan asks for this book frequently. I know that there are many versions of this story and This story appeals to Logan's love of animals and the text has a rhythm that's kind of mesmerizing. I know that there are many versions of this story and I do feel that this version is a bit too simplified, but we do enjoy it. If you google the title, there are a number of native american sites that have other versions of the story and I plan to read those to Logan at some point. Mouse wants to travel to far away lands. He first encounters Magic Frog who helps him cross a river by naming him Jumping Mouse and giving him the ability to jump. Along the way mouse meets different creatures and helps them the way Magic Frog helped him. Although as Jumping Mouse helps them, he loses the ability he has given them. For example, he gave a bison the gift of sight and then Jumping Mouse loses his sight. Happily, Jumping Mouses' kind spirit is rewarded at the end. The black and white Mouse wants to travel to far away lands. The black and white illustrations use shading very effectively. The illustrations are a bit abstract, but the character images are large enough to pop out on the pages.

I liked everything about this book except the ending, which came completely out of nowhere and made very little sense. Still, the lifelike illustrations are eye-catching, even only in black-and- white, and it was fun trying to imagine how each animal might speak as I read the book aloud to my husband. Feb 25, Mitchell rated it really liked it Shelves: library , picture-book , childrens , folktale , liked-reviews , caldecott-honor. Caldecott Honor book with lots of words. It seems like I found a bunch of Caldecott Honor books that all retell legends and folktales with more than the typical amount of words for a picture book. This is yet another one. Though in this one the Jumping Mouse is a clear hero with wants and goals and a big heart. The text is very readable, the art beautiful but not overdone. And there's a nice twist at the end, though it's kind of a big leap. May 24, Meg McGregor rated it it was amazing Shelves: read-to-lexi. One, of the most beautifully illustrated stories, I have ever red; a tale worthy of five stars. Jumping Mouse shows determination, generosity, and self-sacrifice, on his journey to the Far-Off Land. The pictures by Mr. Steptoe are exquisite. This is one of the stories I would teach my students, every year, during Native American month. Feb 20, Molly rated it liked it Shelves: , caldecott-honor-books. This is a retelling of a Native American tale about a mouse on a journey who is rewarded for his compassionate acts. I think it is a great story and the illustrations are beautiful, but the story is a bit long for young children. Mar 29, Tracey rated it liked it Shelves: new2me. What really makes this story are the illustrations. The story itself is short. It is a tale of the journey through life, and that to become the best one can be is to give of oneself to others to help them to become the best they can be. Very beautiful and well deserving of the Caldecott Honor. Sep 05, Kris rated it really liked it Shelves: picture-books. I have no idea how authentic this "native American" story is - I'm guessing not very. However, it felt like the author was trying to capture a richness and layering that would probably be present in the oral tradition, and considering this is from the 80s, I'm going to cut some slack. The story has a sweet feel that the black and white illustrations work well with. Inauthentic, but attempting to be respectful would probably be my call on this one. The story of a determined mouse to get to the far away land, this story was fantastic. It is a Native American tale. The story is about a little mouse that was eager to get to the far off land. His will and determination are second to none. On his journey to the far away land, he has some setbacks, but he is determined to reach his destination. He comes across Magic frog that helps him cross the water. The frog is a great jumper and helps the little mouse on his journey. The mouse is amazed at t The story of a determined mouse to get to the far away land, this story was fantastic. As they part ways little mouse thanks the frog and continues on his journey. However, his new friend leaves him with a most precious gift — his jumping skill. Now the mouse has the skill to hop like no other. He next meets a fat mouse. The two become friends and little mouse stays a while with the fat mouse. Before he realizes, he too is a fat mouse. He next meets a blind bison. The bison cannot see the path to the far off land, but he hides the mouse from the predators in the sky as the mouse hops along. Little mouse leaves his new friend, but not without bestowing on him the gift of sight. Now blind, the determined little mouse continues on his way and he meets a wolf that could not smell. Well, the wolf could not smell any predators or dangers, but he could see them. Once again Little mouse part ways with his new friend, but not before bestowing on him the gift of smell. He finally arrives at the far off land, the place he had been dreaming about for so long and worked so hard to get to, but it quite disappointing because he could see the beautiful sights or smell the wonderful smells. The ending of the story is one of the best endings to a story, I have ever read. This story is wonderful for all ages because of the theme of the story. It relies the ideas of showing empathy to others and being good inside. Children can get to understand when you do good things, good things may happen in return. Anyone who cares to read a truly magical story with life lessons will love this book. John Steptoe received the Caldecott Award for this book.

The Story of Jumping Mouse, the Caldecott Honor book by author and illustrator, John Steptoe, published in , is a timeless and elegant retelling of a Native American tale. Based on the story, The Story of Jumping Mouse, a story from the Seven Arrows, published in and written by Hymeyohsts Storm, Steptoe's retelling captures the hopes and dreams of a small mouse through a series of stoically beautiful black and white pencil drawings illustrating his journey. The tale follows a nameless m The Story of Jumping Mouse, the Caldecott Honor book by author and illustrator, John Steptoe, published in , is a timeless and elegant retelling of a Native American tale. The tale follows a nameless mouse as he leaves his comfortable surroundings to travel out into the world in search of the wonderful and mythical "far off land. But the most ominous and unrelenting are the shadowy figures that darken the sky. Along the way, he is given the name, Jumping Mouse, and encouraged to continue on his path. With each new trial, he encounters self-doubt, complacency and despair. Eventually, he meets several animals in dire circumstances far more desperate than his own. Drawn to their pain, his compassion eclipses his desires and he offers a gift to each, and one at a time he gives away his five senses. Without his sight, his hearing, his sense of smell, and his bouncy legs, the completion of his journey to the "far off land" seems impossible. However, the redemptive power of selflessness prevails and Jumping Mouse is rewarded amply in the end. Steptoe allows the viewer to interact with the illustrations by placing the reader's vantage point on the ground with the lowly mouse as he travels along encountering the animals on his journey. The images are breathtakingly beautiful and the shifting negative and positive space causes the reader to reflect on the meaning of the internal and external journey the mouse undertakes This book is one of my all-time favorites because the author conveys such a powerful message with simple, elegant language and equally stunning artwork. This book is recommended for readers 9 and up. Although the language is simple, the themes are not, and as such, makes a fantastic springboard for sophisticated discussions around the topic of selflessness, hope and redemption.

He goes on his journey and along the way, he meets many interesting animals. The first animal he meets is a magic frog. Magic Frog gives the mouse a name "Jumping Mouse". The Magic Frog gives Jumping Mouse frog legs so he will be able to cross the river. Jumping Mouse meets a bison who can't see. Jumping Mouse then names the bison Eyes-of-a- Mouse so he can see, but it takes away Jumping Mous I absouletely loved this book. Jumping Mouse then names the bison Eyes-of-a-Mouse so he can see, but it takes away Jumping Mouse's eyesight so the Bison helps guide Jumping Mouse where he needs to go. The bison can't go on anymore but Jumping Mouse continues to go on even though he can't see. Jumping Mouse then encounters a wolf. The wolf is unable to smell so Jumping Mouse gives the wolf the name Nose-of-a-Mouse which takes away Jumping Mouses sense of smell. The wolf tells Jumping Mouse he will help guide him along as a thank you present. The wolf has to stop and Jumping Mouse continues to go on even though he can't see or smell. Jumping Mouse started to cry. He doesn't know he can go on with out eyesight or smell. Then the Magic frog appears. He rewards Jumping Mouse for his compassion and makes him an eagle.

By the time the study was concluded they could not say that any particular mouse from any given area preferred one type of food over another. However, when the meadow jumping mice were fed plants, they consumed only the seeds of some and the roots of others, but the plant itself usually stayed intact. begins around late September and early October. At the moment of entering hibernation there is a decrease in metabolism. Hibernation lasts until about mid April to May, with males emerging slightly earlier than females. From the time that the meadow jumping mouse goes into hibernation to the time it comes out there is a significant amount of weight loss. When the male emerges from hibernation it starts feeding and is immediately reproductively active. Once the female emerges, which is only a short time after the males, they begin mating, and only about two weeks after emergence all the females are pregnant and gestation begins. Gestation lasts about eighteen days, although this can be a bit longer if the female is still nursing her previous litter. The average litter size is said to be 5. The jumping mouse is capable of having two to three litters per year, with most litters weaned between June and August. Studies have shown that on average the jumping mouse has a litter during late spring after emergence and then again in later summer, with very little reproductive activity in mid summer. The newborn young are small, naked, blind, deaf and have no claws. The only thing that these tiny newborns weighing 0.

He started work on Stevie, his first picture book, when he was sixteen, and Stevie was published three years later to outstanding critical acclaim.

John Lewis Steptoe, creator of award-winning picture books for children, was born in Brooklyn on September 14, and was raised in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of that borough. He began drawing as a young child and received his formal art training at the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan. He also studied at the Vermont Academy, where he was instructed by the sculptor, John Torres, and William Majors, a painter acclaimed by the Museum of Modem Art for his etchings and print-making.
